The Bereguardo pontoon bridge is one of the few examples of a pontoon bridge existing in Italy. Specifically, the one in Bereguardo was built at the end of the 19th century as a temporary structure; the temporary one ended up becoming permanent and the bridge survived the two world wars. Initially it was supported by four wooden boats, now the barges are made of aluminium. The peculiar characteristic is that the bridge follows the Ticino regime; when in flood, the boats rise. When dry, they sag. Nearby there is also a nice kiosk where you can refuel.
