The Rocker Bridge is a mobile bridge located in Caposile, on the border between the municipalities of San Donà and Musile. It connects the banks of the Piave Vecchia a few meters upstream from the confluence with the Taglio del Sile. Due to its shapes it has been compared to the famous Langlois Bridge, a recurring subject in Van Gogh's works.

In 2015 the bridge underwent a major conservative recovery project financed partly by the municipality of San Donà and partly by that of Musile. Built in 1927 after the First World War, it remained in service until 1957, when the current road crossing over the Piave Vecchia was inaugurated. The bridge was built in such a way as to allow river traffic via what was then an important inland navigation route. The mechanism that makes the opening and closing of the bridge possible is made up of a system of counterweights through which the two platforms of the central span are manually lifted.
