San Michele Bridge of Paderno d'Adda

Highlight • Bridge

The San Michele bridge, also known as the Calusco bridge, Paderno bridge or Röthlisberger bridge, is an icon of Italian industrial archaeology. Located in the gorge of the Adda river, it connects Paderno d'Adda and Calusco d'Adda and is an iron arch bridge for mixed rail-road traffic, now open only to road transit.

With over 100 meters of height above the waters of the Adda river, the bridge offers a spectacular visual impact from the top. Its fascinating structure and the history linked to the region make it a point of reference along the Lecco-Trezzo d'Adda route. A recognized masterpiece, the San Michele Bridge represents a significant testimony to the local industrial history.

Ponte San Michele

Highlight • Bridge

Splendid view of the Robbiate Dam and the San Michele Bridge of Paderno D'Adda. The San Michele Bridge, also known as the Paderno Bridge, Calusco Bridge, or Röthlisberger Bridge, is a mixed railway-road iron arch bridge that connects the towns of Paderno d'Adda and Calusco d'Adda, crossing a gorge of the Adda River. Recognized as an engineering masterpiece and one of the symbols of Italian industrial archaeology, in 2017 the bridge was nominated for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage list, a nomination later withdrawn following the decision to build a new bridge nearby.
