Caprigliola bridge, Reinforced concrete bridge in Aulla, Italy
The Caprigliola bridge is a reinforced concrete structure spanning 260 meters across the Magra River and connecting Albiano and Caprigliola. The construction includes cycling paths on both sides and is designed to handle the river's variable water conditions.
The original structure was built in 1908 by engineer Attilio Muggia with five arches and served the region for generations. German forces partially destroyed it during World War II, leading to reconstruction efforts afterward.
The structure replaced an ancient ferry service linking the two communities and represents a shift from traditional river crossings to modern infrastructure. This transformation shows how local transportation evolved over time.
The structure is easy to cross on foot or by bicycle and offers good views of the river from the middle section. Those walking or cycling across should be aware that surfaces can become wet during high water periods.
During its 2022 reconstruction, the bridge was assembled using four macro-segments to minimize the number of piers in the riverbed. This innovative approach reduced the environmental impact on the river's ecosystem.
