State road 45, the Lenzino bridge collapsed

“We were scared, in an instant half the bridge collapsed. Fortunately we didn’t see anyone pass by at that time. “. Thus Chiara Macellari, owner of the bar “Chiara” that is located a few meters from the viaduct, saw Ponte Lenzino collapse, just before 4:00 p.m. on October 3. The bridge gave way under pressure from the Trebbia, after these last hours of bad weather. Fortunately, they have not been reported neither injured nor missing. The bridge, viaduct over Trebbia, is located in the municipality of Corte Brugnatella and leads to Ottone in Alta Valtrebbia. At the scene are 118 health workers from Bobbio, the Marsaglia Red Cross and Bobbio, with them obviously the firefighters from Bobbio and Piacenza (Saf’s team). The fire helicopter is also on the way.

THE ALTERNATIVE ROUTE TO REACH ALTA VALTREBBIA

The alternative route to Statale 45 is to go through the provincial road 73 Lago (between Marsaglia and the Lenzino bridge on the SS45) to Pieve di Montarsolo. Continue along Pratolungo until Provincial Highway 186 (Pavía) then follow this towards State Highway 45, to continue over the bridge over the river Trebbia from Provincial Highway 24 to Strada Statale 45 in Ponte Organasco.
