Situated in the east of Brixen  the new Isarco substitutes the existing arch bridge from 1914 to solve an untenable traffic situation.

The bridge is structures in two separate carriageways connected by welded cross beams only in correspondence of the pillars and embankment. The geometry of the decks is quite complex as it curves both transversally and longitudinally. It is made of steel “wing profile” closed sections, composed of orthotropic steel slab. The bottom part of the pillars is made of concrete, while the upper part connecting to the deck is made of steel.
