Ponte Coperto Crosses Ticino River Locale Pavia, Italy Design Stone and brick deck arch bridge Total length 216 metres Beginning date of construction 1949 Completion date 1951
History The previous bridge, dating from 1354 (itself a replacement for a Roman construction), was heavily damaged by Allied action in 1945. A debate on whether to fix or replace the bridge ended when the bridge partially collapsed in 1947, requiring new construction, which began in 1949. The new bridge is based on the previous one, which had ten arches to the current bridge's five. Comments: 0 |
