Bridge over Chisone stream
Partial collapse of a national bridge over the Chisone stream near Fenestrelle (Torino) on 13-16 October 2000, as part of the catastrophic alluvione. Documented in the ARPA Piemonte official report (SS23 area). Total collapse during the catastrophic alluvione of 13-16 October 2000 that struck over 50% of Piemonte, causing more than 1,800 documented damage events. The ARPA Piemonte report (2003) explicitly documents multiple bridge collapses across the Stura di Lanzo, Orco, Chisone, Dora Riparia, Dora Baltea and Po basins. The event is comparable in scale to the 1994 alluvione del Piemonte. No fatalities directly attributed to this specific collapse. Database ponti fluviali danneggiati di D'Angelo, Ballio & Ravazzani (2025), IJDRR, suppl. S3, record P021 (dec=0.5; abbinato per anno 2000 + coordinate, dist. 0.00 km): processo = erosione laterale di sponda; componenti danneggiate = spalle; evidenza di sormonto = ?. [Nota QA precedente: il rapporto 2001 documenta a Fenestrelle danni al ponte del campeggio e lievi al ponte sul rio Gran Puy; la monografia 2003 il parziale scalzamento delle spalle del ponte per il Laux (Usseaux): corrispondenza puntuale con questa scheda da verificare.]
