Lusoponte — Concessionária para a Travessia do Tejo

A private company to which the state has granted the concession for both road bridges across the Tagus in Lisbon: Ponte 25 de Abril and Ponte Vasco da Gama. It collects the tolls, maintains the bridges and announces repairs and traffic restrictions.

Where you come across it. Bridge tolls, overnight repairs and lane closures, news about traffic jams coming into Lisbon.
Tolls are charged in one direction only: on Ponte 25 de Abril when driving from the south bank into Lisbon, and on Vasco da Gama likewise when heading into the city.
