Nice passage to cross the Isonzo. Given the very narrow tracks and the constant amount of traffic, I recommend crossing via the pedestrian bridges on the sides.

As of March 2026, the stretch of road along the embankment is closed for reconstruction and is not accessible by bike. You have to stay on the road below, which unfortunately is lower than the embankment, and you lose the view of the sea.
