1960


Completed in 1960, Biscione Bridg 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 Southbound route that bypassed the Biscione canyon. All 4 lanes of the original 1960 Biscione arch bridge were converted into Northbound-use only.
