ARCUS — Bridge Failure Research

ARCUS Atlas record

Ponte stradale di via dei Crivellari

The road bridge on Via dei Crivellari (Via Caduti dei Crivellari), Borgo Rivola (Riolo Terme), was completely destroyed by the Senio flood on the morning of 17 May 2023. The Ente Parchi emergency-works document distinguishes this bridge, used by vehicles to reach Via Crivellari, from the nearby cycle-pedestrian footbridge then under construction. The latter collapsed separately during load testing on 7 September 2023. Sources establish the road bridge's total loss and flood context, but not its structural type, material, detailed physical failure process or exact bridge-centroid coordinate.
