ARCUS Atlas record
Bridge over Orco stream
Partial collapse of a cycle-pedestrian bridge over the Orco near Locana during the October 2000 flood. D'Angelo, Ballio & Ravazzani (2025), record P024, provides a high-confidence coordinate/year match and classifies the process as scour. The regional event report separately documents a state-road bridge at Locana-Devion destroyed by bed erosion, indicating that more than one crossing was affected.
