Ponte degli Scalzi

Ponte degli Scalzi

The Ponte degli Scalzi (or Ponte dei Scalzi), literally, "bridge of the barefoot", is one of only four bridges in Venice to span the Grand Canal.

The bridge connects the sestieri of Santa Croce and Cannaregio. On the north side, Cannaregio, are the Chiesa degli Scalzi (church of the barefoot) and the Santa Lucia (Ferrovia) railway station. The south side, Santa Croce, is close to the bus station "Piazzale Roma".

Designed by Eugenio Miozzi, it was completed in 1934, replacing an Austrian iron bridge.

Ponte degli Scalzi is located close to the site of construction of the fourth bridge over the Grand Canal, to be known as Ponte di Calatrava. Construction was delayed in part due to controversy over its modern style, but the basic span was finally in place on August 11, 2007, and the bridge is expected to be completed and opened for public use by December 2007. This bridge will be slightly closer to the bus station.
