Completed in 1960, Biscione Bridge is a concrete arch along the Bologna to Firenze A1 motorway in Northern Italy. Like all of Italy's large concrete arch bridges, the main rib was built on top of a beautiful temporary timber support structure composed of several elaborate fan arrangements.

In 2015 an upgrade of the Barberino di Mugello section of the A1 motorway was completed with an entirely new route to the West that bypassed the Biscione Bridge. The old A1 route with the Biscione arch is now called the E35. Several kilometers to the south are the 90 meter high Aglio Bridges.
