Closure of the Pellice bridge in Bricherasio in November 2026
Date of the event:
From 16 to 28 November 2026 the bridge over the Pellice river on Provincial Road 157 (Strada Provinciale 157), at kilometre 0+050, in the municipality of Bricherasio, is closed to traffic 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to allow emergency maintenance work on the road surface [1][2].
The works
The closure is part of an emergency maintenance project on the bridge, already announced in a statement issued by the Metropolitan City of Turin on 15 October 2026. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the full closure covers the period needed to carry out the work on the structure's road surface [1][2].
Effects on traffic and public transport
During the closure, local public transport routes are being diverted, with detailed information issued by the company that runs the service. Advance warning signs about the closure and diversion periods are being placed along the alternative routes [1][2].
Coordination between local authorities
The traffic restrictions are the result of discussions between technical staff from the Metropolitan City of Turin's Roads and Transport Department (Dipartimento Viabilità e Trasporti) and those of the municipalities of Luserna San Giovanni, Torre Pellice, Bricherasio, Bibiana and Campiglione Fenile, held with representatives of the company responsible for local public transport also present [1][2].
