It was inaugurated on August 3, 2020 and opened the next day. The article names no client or style.
The bridge is 1,067 m long, about 31 m wide and about 45 m high, with 19 spans on 18 stacks. The structure is mixed steel and concrete, and the stacks are reinforced concrete.
It carries four lanes plus two emergency lanes. Four inspection robots, 240 fiber optic sensors and a dehumidification system monitor it. Construction cost €202 million. Autostrade per l'Italia maintains it.
