The cycle/pedestrian path has been constructed on the upstream side of the bridge, 530 meters long, because that is where most people pass. The structure has arches that rest on the existing building, supported by beams anchored to the bridge. The bicycle/pedestrian path will also be separated from the car lane, to further guarantee the safety of passers-by on foot or by bicycle.

In 1982, an exceptional flooding of the Taro, due to heavy rainfall in the upper Val Taro, during the night of November 8 to 9, caused the partial collapse of the road bridge connecting Fornovo to the town of Ramiola (municipality of Medesano). The image of the truck stuck on the half-destroyed bridge, with its front wheels in a vacuum, is famous. That same night, the railway bridge over the Taro, in Pontetaro, was also partially destroyed by the flood.
