Carpineto viaduct, Cable-stayed viaduct in Vietri di Potenza, Italy
The Carpineto viaduct consists of two parallel bridges spanning 181 meters between supports, with each section accommodating two lanes of traffic in opposite directions.
Engineer Riccardo Morandi designed this reinforced concrete structure in 1977 as part of the Sicignano-Potenza highway system in southern Italy.
The viaduct represents a milestone in Italian civil engineering, demonstrating advanced construction methods through its inclined towers and cable support system.
Located at coordinates 40.614388, 15.476549, the bridge features 29-meter-high towers anchored by horizontal cement bars extending 12 meters into the foundation.
The bridge structure incorporates specialized tension management systems in its cables while spanning across terrain where traditional support pillars were not feasible.
