Pescara’s new Ponte del Mare, by architect Walter Pichler, is one of those civil engineering feats that combines practicality with tourism appeal.
The long bridge offering a cycling and walking path, unites both shores of Pescara’s river.
The two paths start together on the shores, and then fork either side of the huge pylon in the middle.
The new Pescara bridge is 440 metres long for cyclists and 465 metres long for walkers.
It is lit up at night, providing an atmospheric touch, and the central pylon changes colour.
To see more of the bridge, including images from its construction, see the Ponte del Mare website of Pescara’s city council.
More building is to be undertaken in the area, including the “museo del mare”, or maritime museum, which should also be built in a similar modern style.
You can reach Pescara by train, try the bus from Rome or fly direct to the Pescara airport, which now also flies Ryanair.
