Torrente Bisagno Viaduct

The Torrente Bisagno Viaduct extends 593.95 meters across the Bisagno River, featuring eight spans with prestressed concrete construction and a maximum span of 116 meters.

The construction of this infrastructure project began in 1966, and the official inauguration ceremony took place on December 18, 1967, with Italian political leader Aldo Moro in attendance.

The viaduct represents a period of substantial infrastructure development in Italy during the 1960s, when numerous large-scale transportation projects transformed the urban landscape.

The structure carries the European Route E80 and A12 Motorway traffic, serving as a fundamental connection point for vehicles traveling along the Ligurian coast of Italy.

Engineer Silvano Zorzi designed this concrete structure using advanced engineering techniques that pushed the boundaries of bridge construction capabilities in the 1960s.
