Ponte di Carignano, Motorway bridge in Genoa, Italy

The Ponte di Carignano is a cable-stayed road bridge on the A10 motorway, crossing the Bisagno valley to link the Carignano district with the Brignole side of Genoa. Its deck carries four traffic lanes and two emergency lanes, held by stays fanning from towers above the valley floor.

The Ponte di Carignano opened in 1967 as part of the Sopraelevata system of elevated roads built to move traffic through Genoa's hilly centre. It spans the Bisagno river valley and links the Carignano district with the Foce area, carrying the A10 motorway approach over the river. Its concrete piers and deck were designed to fit the steep terrain between the two banks.

Locals call the span Ponte di Carignano after the hill district it links to the city centre. The bridge carries the A10 motorway over the Val Bisagno, so drivers cross it daily without noticing the structure beneath them. Its name appears on road signs directing traffic toward Carignano and the city centre.

The bridge is accessible through Via XX Settembre and several other roads with good public transportation connections nearby. Pedestrians and cyclists can use paths along the structure.

The structure is equipped with about 240 fiber optic sensors that continuously monitor structural movements. Specialized robots regularly carry out maintenance work on the surface.
