Ponte sul fiume Cecina, Road bridge across Cecina River between Pomarance and Volterra, Italy.
Ponte sul fiume Cecina is a reinforced concrete bridge that crosses the Cecina River between Pomarance and Volterra in Tuscany. The structure features three distinct sections designed to span the riverbed with solid engineering.
The bridge was designed in 1920 by engineers Attilio Muggia and Pierluigi Nervi to replace an earlier suspension bridge from 1835 that had collapsed during flooding. Its central span underwent reconstruction in 1948 following damage from Allied bombing in 1944.
The bridge represents an important example of early 20th-century Italian engineering, demonstrating the transition from traditional to modern construction methods.
The bridge serves as a main transportation route for travelers moving between the two towns and surrounding areas. It remains accessible throughout the year and is clearly marked on the road network.
The central span of the bridge required reconstruction in 1948 after sustaining damage during World War II Allied bombing operations in June 1944.
