Description
It was built between 1862 and 1863 by a Belgian company to link the railway line of Civitavecchia to Roma Termini railway station. The Belgian company accomplished the work in England, then the bridge was moved in pieces to Rome, where it was mounted.
In 1911, with the opening of the new station of Trastevere, the railway line was moved to the new Ponte San Paolo, a little further upstream.
Built completely in metal, it has three lights in metal girders and is about 131 meters long.
