Viadotto Lontrano 1974
Auletta, Campania, Italy

1974-2009
One of the longest and highest viaducts on the Brenner highway between Italy and Austria, the Colle Isarco has a cantilevered central span of 535 feet (163 mtrs). Like many Italian bridges of the 1970s, a belly span makes up the middle third of the main span. For the approach spans, A-frame piers are topped with long hammerhead caps that support - what else! - more suspended concrete belly spans.
