Noce Bridge is one of the larger beam bridge spans that opened in 1967 along the original A3 motorway that is now part of the A2 Autostrada del Mediterraneo. In 2009 the original approach spans were imploded while the piers were refurbished and strengthened. In 2011 the new Noce Bridge opened with a wider deck including safety lanes.
You can see various views of the Noce Bridge implosion as well as several others along the A3 on Youtube:
