Ponte di Roana, Concrete bridge in Roana, Italy.

The Roana Bridge spans 135 meters across the Val d'Assa with three concrete arches, rising 80 meters above the valley floor between Canove and Roana.

Built in 1896, the original steel bridge was destroyed in 1916 during World War I and reconstructed in 1924 with reinforced concrete by the Bianchi-Steiner company.

In 1895, local women led a significant protest at Canove town hall, demanding the construction of the bridge to connect their communities.

The bridge currently operates with alternating one-way traffic controlled by temporary traffic lights during maintenance periods and structural assessments.

Italian aviator Arturo Ferrarin performed daring flights under the bridge's main arch before its destruction during World War I.
