Piacenza cable-stayed bridge, Railway bridge in Piacenza, Italy.

The Piacenza cable-stayed bridge extends 1343 meters across the Po River, incorporating towers that rise 60 meters above their foundations for structural support.

The construction and opening of the bridge in 2009 marked a substantial improvement in the Milano-Bologna high-speed railway infrastructure connecting northern Italian regions.

This bridge stands as an engineering achievement in Italian infrastructure, connecting the communities of Piacenza and San Rocco al Porto across the Po River.

The bridge accommodates trains traveling at speeds over 300 kilometers per hour, making it a vital component of the north-central Italian rail network.

Twenty-eight foundation piles anchor each tower of the bridge, providing protection against the heavy erosion patterns of the Po River.
