The Province of Pisa has announced upcoming structural maintenance on the bridge connecting Castelfranco di Sotto and Montopoli in Valdarno. The intervention is necessary because the Arno river has eroded the earth covering the base of the bridge pillars, which could affect long-term stability.

Castelfranco Mayor Fabio Mini noted that the bridge is under provincial jurisdiction rather than local municipal authority. To minimize disruption, officials plan to keep the bridge open for two-way traffic, though motorists should expect a narrowed roadway. The project is expected to be complex, with an estimated duration of at least 18 months.
