| Abstract: |
The project for adapting SP527 carriageway (Novara Province, Piemonte Region, Italy) has as its aim improving local roads network connection with Milan Malpensa airport. The Ticino Natural Park is fully interested by this project: environmental aspects become the most important. In the current SP527, two 19th-century infrastructures stand out: a steel lattice bridge over the Ticino river and a masonry 3-arch bridge over the Bragadano canal. A new footbridge is needed, at the side of the existing arch bridge; it has a "celosía"-lattice theme, reminding the historical bridge aspect. Structural design is made together with the dynamic verification and pedestrians comfort. The masonry arch bridge must be retrofitted without modifying its formal appearance. The existing structure will be used for a direct vertical loads transfer onto the piers. The project is going through its detailed design phase. |
