Salinello Viaduct, Road viaduct in Tortoreto, Italy.
The Salinello Viaduct is a road bridge in Tortoreto that spans 1,460 meters across a deep valley, rising 130 meters high with its reinforced concrete structure. The four-lane bridge carries traffic on the A14 highway and creates the main route between two regional toll stations.
Construction of the viaduct started in 1969 and finished in 1972, creating a vital transportation link across Abruzzo. This project was part of the major Italian infrastructure boom of the 1970s that reshaped the country's highway network.
The viaduct represents a significant period of Italian infrastructure development in the 1970s, when major transportation projects transformed the national landscape.
Visitors can view the bridge from the roadside or nearby vantage points to appreciate its scale and engineering from different angles. The best views come from the valley floor or elevated areas where the full span becomes visible.
In 2011, protective nets were installed along the full length of the structure, making it one of the first bridges in Italy with this type of safety feature. Beyond protecting the roadway itself, these nets provide a safety barrier for the areas below the crossing.
