Viadotto ferroviario di Desenzano, Railway viaduct in Desenzano del Garda, Italy.

The concrete railway viaduct extends 427 meters across the Rio Freddo valley, incorporating stone and brick pillars along the Milano-Venezia line.

Engineer Luigi Negrelli designed the original stone structure between 1850 and 1854, which suffered damage during World War II and underwent reconstruction in 1947.

The viaduct stands as an example of railway engineering evolution, transitioning from Verona stone construction to modern reinforced concrete transportation infrastructure.

The structure currently undergoes a 16-million-euro renovation project to meet seismic standards and address rainwater erosion issues starting May 2024.

The viaduct features 17 pointed arches reaching heights of 33 meters, combining both historical stone pillars and post-war concrete construction methods.
