Watch out for punctures, there is a fairly pronounced step at the entrance and exit, it's not visible but definitely noticeable

Perfect footbridge, be careful that you have to "anticipate" the entry into the cycle path well before the bridge. Entering Cremona it comes quite naturally, being on the right side of the road; exiting instead, finding yourself on the left side of the road, you have to take it at the roundabout, afterwards it becomes impossible to cross, both due to traffic and the presence of a dividing wall.
