Construction finished in 1966 as part of the expansion of Italy's motorway system during the post-war era. The structure represented advances in engineering technique needed to connect the Italian coast efficiently.
The construction process of the Torrente Sori Viaduct was documented through photographs by Tino Petrelli, now preserved in the Publifoto archive.
The viaduct is accessible via the A12 motorway and serves as a major traffic junction connecting coastal regions. You can view the structure from various angles throughout the surrounding landscape and nearby villages.
