How much did Vasco da Gama Bridge cost to build?

The Vasco da Gama Bridge is the cable-stayed bridge across the River Tagus in Lisbon that Lusoponte, a consortium of Portuguese, British and French companies, won in April 1994 on a concession to design, build, finance and operate. Construction began in February 1995 and the bridge opened to traffic on 29 March 1998, in time for Expo 98. The concessionaire's dossier gives the funding project a total value of 897 million euros, of which 644 million was for construction.
