Giuseppe Romita Viaduct, Road bridge in Tuscany, Italy

The Giuseppe Romita Viaduct spans 406 meters across the Arno River, connecting Laterina Pergine Valdarno and Terranuova Bracciolini with a central arch of 134 meters.

Completed in August 1964, the viaduct marked the final construction milestone of the 113 bridges along the Autostrada del Sole, a major Italian highway development project.

The structure bears the name of Giuseppe Romita, the Minister of Public Works who initiated the national highway network expansion plan in the 1950s.

The bridge foundation required concrete piles measuring 170 centimeters in diameter, driven 26 meters deep to ensure stability in the unstable left riverbank.

Engineer Silvano Zorzi designed the tricuspid arch structure, which rises 60 meters above the artificial lake formed by the Arno River.
