The Province of Benevento has asked ACaMIR to analyse and monitor the bridge over the Tammaro river on SP 162, the former SS 212, in Pesco Sannita, according to NTR24.
The request follows an inquiry by the provincial Infrastructure Sector carried out with the municipalities of Pesco Sannita, Fragneto l’Abate and Fragneto Monforte, according to NTR24 and Anteprima24.
The bridge was transferred from ANAS to the Province in 2018 after the opening of the new Fortorina route, and it has no supporting technical documentation, according to Anteprima24.
The option under consideration is drone-based inspection and digitisation, alongside collection of the bridge’s construction data, according to NTR24 and Anteprima24.
The structure is described as a brick arch bridge with three spans/openings and five bays, about 110 metres long, 5.80 metres wide and 20 metres high.
It was severely damaged in the 2015 floods and is closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
Monitoring could provide the technical basis for an eventual restoration of the infrastructure.
The bridge forms part of a historic Alto Tammaro connection toward Molise, Pietrelcina and Benevento, within a provincial road network that includes the Pesco Sannita–Fragneto Monforte area. The Province’s official road map places that network in the Titerno–Tammaro road district.
The Province has not announced a timetable, funding amount or tender for the checks and any restoration. It is not yet known whether the drone inspection has been authorised or scheduled, and no current structural safety rating beyond the traffic closure has been released.
