Ponte Romano, Archaeological site and Roman bridge in Parma, Italy.
The Ponte Romano spans 140 meters across the Parma River with eleven uneven arches constructed during the Augustan period.
Built around 187 BC, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 493 AD under Theodoric using materials from different origins and locations.
The foundations of this ancient Roman structure represent engineering methods and architectural traditions that influenced infrastructure development throughout Italy.
Recent waterproofing work included the installation of a 20-centimeter lightweight concrete slab made with expanded clay to maintain the original weight distribution.
A major flood in 1177 redirected the Parma River waters westward, leaving the bridge completely dry and transforming its function in the urban landscape.
