Ponte della Scienza, Footbridge and Italian national heritage in Ostiense district, Rome, Italy
The 147-meter-long bridge spans across the Tiber River, connecting the Ostiense and Marconi districts with separate lanes for cyclists and pedestrians.
The construction began in 2008 following an international design competition, and the bridge officially opened to the public on May 29, 2014.
The structure integrates modern architectural elements with the industrial heritage of the area, featuring views of the nearby historic gasometer.
The bridge surface combines concrete cycling paths with teak wood pedestrian areas, including benches and neon lighting beneath the handrails for evening visibility.
Two distinct support structures form the bridge's foundation: a 63-meter steel strut on one bank and a 42-meter concrete strut on the opposite side.
