Text description provided by the architects. Back in May of this year the mayor of Rome Giovanni Alemanno publicly opened the Ponte della Musica crossing the river Tiber connecting the Olympic stadium on the west bank of the Monte Mario with the Quartiere Flaminio for the first time in a 1,000 years. The bridge has been designed to serve as an open public space that can be used for festivals, exhibitions and fairs and also has the future facility to operate as a tram and bus route. Designed by Buro Happold it is the first public footbridge to cross the Tiber since Roman times.
