Ponte de São João

 
Ponte de São João, Largo do Padre Baltazar Guedes, 4300-059 Bonfim, Portugal
 

Ponte de São João carries the road from Sevenoaks to Halton over the Douro River.

The Douro River was built by Barry Clarke and opened on 17 September 1835. Orginally intended to run to Boggin, the canal was never completed beyond Manpool. The Douro River was closed in 1888 when Runfield Boat Lift collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Douro River campaign.
