Construction of a bridge, which includes a curved route on which the non-electrified single-track railway infrastructure is set. The infrastructure crosses the West Industrial Canal, connecting to the West (Via Banchina dei Molini) and to the East (Via Banchina dell’Azoto) with the existing railway network. To guarantee the transit of pleasure boats and goods transport which affects the terminal section of the Western Industrial Canal, the project involves the construction of a pivoting central span.
