Po Bridge of Piacenza

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The bridge with the Via Emilia is anything but special. The railway bridge, on the other hand, is a ponte strallato (cable bridge) that runs the ferrovia ad alta velocità Milano-Bologna over the River Po near Piacenza. This impressive bridgework is located at kilometer point 44.232 of the Milano-Bologna high-speed line.
The entire viaduct that spans the Po has a length of 1,342 meters.
The actual cable bridge section extends over 400 meters and spans the normal riverbed of the Po. The width of this section is 300 meters.
The bridge deck consists of a three-cell concrete structure that rests on pillars on the banks. The weight is carried by 72 cables connected to two antennas. The central span measures 192 meters, while the two side spans are each 104 meters long.
This bridge project was originally the largest steel and reinforced concrete railway bridge in the world and plays a crucial role in modern rail traffic between Milan and Bologna.

Sigeric's Ford on the Via Francigena

Highlight • Historical Site

The Transitum padi is the passage over the River Po that pilgrims had to make on the Via Francigena to continue their journey from Canterbury to Rome. An important testimony to this ancient historical event comes from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sigeric, who tells of the presence of huge rafts on the river at Corte Sant'Andrea: they transferred hordes of pilgrims and livestock, testifying to the centrality of this passage over the Po.

The asphalt in this section is a little worn but can be traveled without difficulty even with 25 tires.
Immersed in the plain and close to the river, you ride in total safety accompanied by the silence of nature.

Path suitable for MTB training on the banks of the Po.
Always practicable but not recommended during the irrigation period of fields and crops, we could get wet or find agricultural vehicles positioned in the middle of some roads. Mainly dirt track and suitable for everyone.
