Macao Post and Telecommunications Bureau will
issue the stamp theme
“50th Anniversary of the
Inauguration of Governor Nobre de
Carvalho Bridge” on
5th October,
2024.
The Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge, named
after the then Governor Nobre de Carvalho,
was inaugurated on 5th October
1974. It was the first sea-crossing bridge
connecting the Macao Peninsula and the island
of Taipa. It was also once the world’s
longest continuous prestressed-concrete
girder bridge at the time of completion. The
unique design and significance of the Bridge
made it one of the design elements of the
regional flag and regional emblem of the
Macao Special Administrative Region.
The Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge has a
beautiful outlook, a unique and appealing
shape, with simple and spectacular lines. For
designers, the Governor Nobre de Carvalho
Bridge is not only a sea-crossing bridge, but
also an architectural work of art. For years,
the Bridge has attracted visitors from all
over the world to enjoy its beauty and take
photos of it.
This issue includes a set of two stamps. The
first stamp shows a daytime view of the
Bridge from Macao, with a panoramic view of
the Bridge’s highest point and the modern
landscape of Taipa. The second stamp shows
the view of Macao Peninsula from Taipa, with
the lights of the Bridge complementing the
enchanting night, highlighting the splendor
and prosperity of Macao. Whether it is the
leisurely vibes during the day or the
glittery night lights at sunset, one can feel
the unique charm of the Governor Nobre de
Carvalho Bridge.
The above issue will be available for sale at
