Bridge of Lodi, Arch bridge in Lodi, Italy.
The Bridge of Lodi is an arch structure built with stone that spans the Adda River using eight masonry arches to connect two districts. It accommodates pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicle traffic across the water.
The original wooden structure was destroyed in 1859 during a military conflict, leading to its replacement with the current stone bridge in 1864. This reconstruction symbolized the rebuilding of the city after a significant period of instability.
The bridge serves as a vital crossing point that links two parts of the city, where daily life unfolds through constant foot and vehicle traffic. It remains central to how locals move through their urban landscape.
Separate pedestrian and bicycle pathways added in 2000 offer safe crossing options for those traveling on foot or by bike. These dedicated routes make the river crossing more comfortable and accessible for non-vehicle traffic.
From 1880 to 1931, electric tramways regularly crossed the bridge connecting distant cities and carrying passengers through the region. This role in regional transport history reveals how mobility evolved across the area.
