Val di Pai Bridge is the third bridge crossing of the Pai gorge in the beautiful Lombardy region of Italy. Designed by Italy's famous De Miranda Associati structural engineers, the single span 2-lane cable stayed structure is supported by an inclined pylon of 46 meters. Route SP7 originally crossed on an upstream arch that is considerably less high. A third stone arch from the 14th century is also hidden within the valley for those adventurous enough to seek it out.

Also in the region is the spectacular Nel Cielo Footbridge, the highest span of its type in Italy at 140 meters.
