In 1982 an exceptional flood of the Taro, due to heavy rains in the upper Val Taro, in the night between 8 and 9 November caused the partial collapse of the road bridge that connects Fornovo to the town of Ramiola (municipality of Medesano). Famous is the image of the truck stuck on the half-destroyed bridge, with the front wheels in a vacuum. On the same night, the railway bridge over the Taro, in Pontetaro, was also partially destroyed by the flood.

The cycle/pedestrian path is built on the upstream side of the bridge, 530 meters long, since it is the one where the greatest number of people pass. The structure has arches that rest on the existing building, supported by beams anchored to the bridge. The cycle/pedestrian path is also separated from the roadway of cars, in order to further guarantee the safety of those who pass through it on foot or by bike.
