Pietre Bianchi Bridge is one of Italy's largest concrete arches with a span of approximately 140 meters. The crossing connects the 2-lane route SS585 with the town of Lagonegro.

Lagonegro has a history of high bridges that started in 1929 with the completion of the 55 meter high Lagonegro Railway Bridge located just south of the town on the narrow gauge Ferrovia Lagonegro-Castrovillari-Spezzano Albanese line. The six arch viaduct became the most iconic engineering achievement on the line before it was damaged in 1952 from a landslide.

In 1973 the steel box beam Serra Bridge opened on the new A3 Autostrada north of town with a height of 122 meters.
