Ponte del Gran Caso

The Ponte del Gran Caso is a Roman bridge across the Torrente Gran Caso 2 km south of Ascoli Piceno, central Italy.^[1]

Today, the structure is surrounded by thick vegetation, and serves only to carry a wood shed.^[1] The bridge has a span of 6 m, a width of 3.3 m and is built of travertine.^[1] The walls of one ramp feature two flood arches, one of which has a segmental shape and runs from the ground to the quarter point of the main arch rib.^[1] A similar segmental relieving arch can be found at another Roman bridge in central Italy, the Ponte di Pioraco.^[2]
