In the late morning of Friday 19th, circulation will be restored between the two historic centers of the city, the historic center and Borgo Durbecco, through the Bailey-type bridge and along the Ponte delle Grazie which underwent extraordinary maintenance after the floods of May 2023.
Before reopening to traffic it is in plan a moment in which representatives of the institutions and the commissioner structure for reconstruction in the territories affected by the flood will take part. The short ceremony will start at 11.30, from the car park in via Renaccio near the access ramp to the Bailey Bridge, with the blessing of the new metal structure by the Vicar of the Diocese of Faenza and Modigliana, Rev. Don Michele Morandi. Once the ceremony is completed, traffic will be opened on both the Bailey Bridge and the Ponte delle Grazie.
