Platano Viaduct

About

The Platano Viaduct (Viadotto Platano) is a two-hinged rigid-frame motorway bridge on the RA 5 between Romagnano al Monte and Vietri di Potenza in southern Italy. It spans the gorge of the Platano stream on the boundary between Campania and Basilicata. Opened in 1978, the bridge has a main span of about 291 m and a deck approximately 220 m above the valley floor, placing it among the highest road bridges in Italy. A technical report by Mapei describes it as the world's second-tallest rigid-frame bridge (220 m deck height).
