Strada sopraelevata di Genova, Elevated road in Genoa, Italy
The Strada Sopraelevata stretches 6 kilometers through Genoa, connecting the Foce district to the Genoa West motorway exit above street level.
The elevated road project began in 1964 to address increasing traffic demands, requiring 15,000 tons of steel plates and 73,000 tons of concrete for construction.
Engineers Fabrizio de Miranda and Ernesto Pitto designed this infrastructure that changed the urban landscape of Genoa in the 1960s.
The road carries 80,000 vehicles daily with speed limits between 40 and 60 kilometers per hour, excluding pedestrians, bicycles, and heavy vehicles.
The structure required the demolition of 300,000 cubic meters of buildings to make space for its supporting pillars through the port area.
