Ponte della Magliana, Reinforced concrete bridge in EUR district, Rome, Italy.
The Ponte della Magliana is a concrete bridge that crosses the Tiber with seven arches clad in travertine stone. The structure connects areas south of the city center and measures about 224 meters long.
Construction began in 1930 for a planned international fair, but war damage halted progress in 1943. The work was completed in 1948 after repairs were finished.
The bridge links two major districts and shapes the face of modern Rome's infrastructure with its distinctive concrete design. It demonstrates how mid-20th century building style met both practical and visual needs.
The bridge is part of the road network and used daily by vehicles moving between districts. Pedestrians and cyclists can also cross it, and the structure remains clearly visible from ground level.
The main span features a movable central arch that can rise when needed. This technical feature is rare among the Tiber crossings in Rome.
