The Ponte dell'Industria is an essential spot that connects the Portuense and Ostiense urban areas, as well as the main arteries of the capital leading to the G.R.A. 

The metallic bridge represents a precious testimony of industrial archaeology and that is why it is protected by the Special Superintendence of Rome. On the night between 2 and 3 October 2021, the Bridge suffered a fire that caused part of the reticulated pipe support structure on the Marconi side to collapse. The southern part of the structure was also damaged. 

The intervention involves the widening of the roadway for the transit of public transport and the construction of a side walkway, on the north side, for the pedestrian crossing.

During the executive design phase, initially unforeseen requirements for improvement of the intervention emerged:

- bridge launch activities; 

- conservative restoration of the historical arches of the bridge; 

- construction of two lateral walkways, one for pedestrians and one for cyclists;

- increasing the road section of the bridge to allow for the transit of public transport.

In the implementation of the project and execution of the intervention, the improvement requirements agreed with the State Superintendence were taken into account.
