Favazzina 1974 Bridge
Viadotto Favazzina 1974
Favazzina, Calabria, Italy
(482) feet high / (147) meters high
(164) foot span / (50) meter span
1974-2013
Morandi’s classic Favazzina viaduct on Italy’s A3 motorway is slated for destruction around 2012 when it is finally replaced by a new strut frame bridge. Opened in 1974, the southern stretch of the A3 has become dangerous with narrow lanes, no shoulders and tight curves. A huge reconstruction project is underway with new tunnels and viaducts as well as wider curves and shoulders.
