Facts and practical information

The Ponte del Mare is a cable-stayed bicycle and pedestrian bridge located in the city of Pescara, which, with its 466 meters in length between abutments and 172 meters in span of the suspended deck, is the largest bicycle and pedestrian bridge in Italy and one of the largest in Europe.

Such a bridge connects the south and north banks of the Pescara River, allowing for the necessary continuity to the Adriatic Ciclovia, the bicycle path that runs along the entire coast from Ravenna to Santa Maria di Leuca.

Costing 7.5 million euros and built in 19 months, the bridge was inaugurated and opened to the public on Dec. 8, 2009.
