Polcevera Viaduct, Highway viaduct in Genoa, Italy
The cable-stayed bridge stretched 1102 meters across the Polcevera valley, incorporating reinforced concrete supports and reaching heights of 90 meters.
Engineer Riccardo Morandi designed this infrastructure project in 1963, leading to the official opening ceremony on September 4, 1967.
The structure represented a period of Italian economic growth, connecting the port of Genoa with northern Italy through the A10 motorway system.
The bridge provided passage for 25 million vehicles per year and remained a central route for commercial traffic between Italy and France.
The viaduct contained three concrete towers with stays, making it one of the first bridges to use this construction method in Italy.
