Moro Viaduct, Road bridge in Ortona, Italy.
The Moro Viaduct is a road bridge made of prestressed concrete stretching roughly 1,123 meters across the Ortona landscape. The structure is built from individual segments with a maximum span of about 45 meters.
Construction of this bridge began in 1967 and was completed in 1968, with the structure opening to traffic in 1969. The project was part of developing the A14 motorway, which brought modern connections to the Adriatic coast.
The viaduct forms part of the European route E55, linking communities along Italy's Adriatic coast through the A14 motorway. It shapes how people travel through this region and connect with neighboring areas.
The bridge serves as a key link on the A14 motorway and should be crossed with standard driving attention. The location offers good visibility, though drivers should expect normal traffic conditions, especially during peak hours.
The bridge was built by Italian construction company Vianini Lavori using prestressed concrete, an innovative technique of the 1960s. This material allows long spans without extra supports and was a sign of modern engineering at the time.
