Ponte Flaiano, Modern bridge in Pescara, Italy.

Ponte Flaiano is a modern bridge in Pescara spanning about 85 meters and connecting different sections of the city. It features separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists alongside the roadway for vehicles.

The project dates to 2007; the bridge was built in 27 months and inaugurated on 15 June 2017. It cost 13.1 million euros, about 8 million of which were funded by ANAS. The name came from a proposal by pupils of the Flaiano primary school, and the opening was followed by a concert by Sud Sound System.

The name was proposed by pupils of the Flaiano primary school before the city adopted it. On the 58-metre mast stands a line by Ennio Flaiano, the Pescara-born journalist and author (1910-1972): "Con i piedi fortemente poggiati sulle nuvole", carved by Massimo Aceto of Lettomanoppello into stone from the Maiella massif. The inauguration on 15 June 2017 ended with a concert by Sud Sound System.

The bridge links Via Gran Sasso with the Torri Camuzzi complex and the "Pescara Portanuova" junction of the SS16 dir/C, so it works as a through route for cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles rather than a sightseeing stop. Its 28-metre width separates these users, and the 58-metre mast with the engraved Maiella stone is best seen from the riverbanks.
