Ponte della Gerola

The Ponte della Gerola spans 880 meters across the Po River, featuring eight arched iron spans supported by reinforced concrete pillars connecting Lomellina and Oltrepò pavese regions.

The National Society Officine di Savigliano constructed this iron bridge between 1913 and 1916, marking an important infrastructure development for the Pavia province transportation network.

The bridge's name originates from the frazione Gerola in Casei Gerola municipality, where the Agogna and Scrivia streams merge with the Po River.

Located along State Road 755 Gerolese, the bridge maintains specific weight restrictions, limiting vehicles over 30 tons from crossing its structure.

Until recent asphalt renovations, this bridge remained the only crossing over the Po River featuring a distinctive porphyry cube pavement, known as sampietrini.
