Grand Canal Bridge Videos

Ponte di Calatrava, Venice, Italy

A fourth bridge across Venice's Grand Canal, informally known as the "Ponte di Calatrava" after the Spanish architect who designed it, was put in place during August, 2007 and will open (barring further delays) early in 2008. For the first time, travelers will be able to walk directly from the Piazzale Roma to the Santa Lucia Railway Station (or vice versa) instead of taking the vaporetto or a meandering route on foot.

To watch the YouTube videos below, simply click the arrows on the embedded video screens. And to see what's happening with the bridge at the moment, see the Comune di Venezia's bridge Webcam.
