Read moreStarting from Monday, October 1st, the new pedestrian and cyclist bridge in San Pellegrino (BG) is officially open to the public, completing a project that began over twenty years ago and was brought to life thanks to the consistent efforts of local authorities and significant financial investment. With a total cost of 1.9 million euros, half of which was funded by the Lombardy Region, the bridge represents an important infrastructure for the community, facilitating connections between the town center, the municipal stadium, the Grand Hotel, and the surrounding area.
The bridge, with its elegant single arch, spans 68 meters in length and is 6.7 meters wide on both sides, narrowing to 3.5 meters in the central span. This modern pedestrian and cyclist link not only improves urban mobility but also symbolizes innovation and sustainability for the city.
Novowood contributed to this significant project by supplying the perfect material to clad the surfaces of the bridge: Doga 145 Elite Dark Grey. This product, which is weather-resistant and maintains an elegant and sophisticated appearance over time, was chosen for its aesthetic and functional qualities, blending seamlessly with the bridge’s modern design. The Dark Grey finish offers a refined, durable tone that ensures longevity and ease of maintenance.
With the opening of the bridge, residents can now enjoy a modern, safe, and convenient infrastructure that not only enhances urban mobility but also represents an important step toward a greener, more sustainable city. The decision to use innovative materials such as Doga 145 Elite from Novowood underscores a commitment to the environment and quality, contributing to the creation of a bridge that combines functionality and design.
This project is not just a physical connection, but also a symbol of how design and innovation can improve the quality of urban life.
The design and project management were carried out by Engineer Agostino Mauri (M+ Associati), Engineer Alfonso Corredor (Studio PP8), and Geologist Fabio Fusina (Fusina s.r.l.). The contractors responsible for the execution were Cosmet, Impresa Brozzoni, and Nuova Perforazioni Srl.
