Completed in 1960, the original Aglio Bridge is a concrete arch along the Bologna to Firenze A1 motorway in Northern Italy. Like all of Italy's large concrete arch bridges, the main rib was built on top of a beautiful temporary timber support structure composed of several elaborate fan arrangements.

Around 1990 the Aglio Arch Bridge spandrel piers and approach piers had deteriorated to the point where they were encased in 120 or 150 mm rheoplastic shrinkage-compensated concrete.

In 2015 an upgrade of the Barberino di Mugello section of the A1 motorway was completed with an entirely new Southbound route that crosses the Aglio canyon on a multi-span concrete beam bridge with a span configuration of 77+3x148+77 meters. All 4 lanes of the original 1960 arch were converted into Northbound-use only.
