Bridge between Trezzo sull’Adda and Capriate San Gervasio

The bridge connecting Trezzo sull'Adda and Capriate San Gervasio is a concrete structure spanning the Adda River and linking the two municipalities. It carries both vehicle and foot traffic across the waterway.

A medieval bridge built in 1377 once stood at this location and was an engineering marvel of its time. The current structure was completed in 1953 and replaced that historic predecessor.

The bridge links two communities that have exchanged goods and people for hundreds of years. Today it serves as an everyday crossing for residents and workers moving between the municipalities.

The bridge is open year-round to traffic and provides lanes for both vehicles and pedestrians. During high water or bad weather, drivers should exercise caution and check conditions before crossing.

The older medieval predecessor managed to span the river with a single arch and no supporting piers for several centuries, making it a remarkable feat of engineering. This span remained unmatched for a very long time before bridges elsewhere eventually surpassed it.
