Cable-stayed bridge over the Adige river

This cable-stayed bridge crosses the Adige river, linking the provinces of Padua and Rovigo with a span of approximately 1087 meters. The structure uses tall towers from which steel cables angle down to support the roadway, creating a striking visual profile above the water.

Construction of this bridge represented a modernization effort in northeast Italy, improving connections between two important provinces. The project emerged during a period when the Veneto region was expanding its transportation infrastructure to meet growing regional needs.

The bridge influences local transportation patterns and serves as an example of contemporary Italian engineering achievements in the Veneto region.

The bridge provides a direct route for vehicles traveling between the two provinces and can be crossed freely on foot as well. From the crossing, you can see the flat landscape of the Po Valley and enjoy views of the river and surrounding farmland.

The bridge incorporates advanced engineering techniques with multiple support cables arranged in a precise configuration to distribute weight across the entire 1087-meter span.
