The extremely complex work mainly concerns the widening of an existing bridge, through the construction of two bridges side by side in adherence to the old bridge. The bridge itself extends for a length of 110.00 meters, is composed of 5 spans, the widening and adaptation of the bridge involved both the upstream and downstream sides, with the construction of 8 piers (4 upstream and 4 downstream) and n. 4 abutments (2 upstream and 2 downstream) after the execution of foundation piles.
The structure of the deck entirely made up of steel arches, made possible an overall widening of the road section of 22.00 meters.
The work, despite its complexity, thanks to its organization and impressive equipment, was completed in just 360 natural and consecutive days.
