The three Cavedago bridges
On SS-421, the street that connects “La Rocchetta” and the Paganella Plateau, we find, crossing the Molini river in Cavedago, the spectacular three-arches bridge, which appears on the town’s seal since 1955 and marks the steps of the town’s development.
The first arch was built in the second half of the 13th century by Tyrolean count Mainardo II, who promoted the construction of many new roads and romantic-styled bridges (among these we find the Mezzolago bridge and the Rio Ceda bridge in Molveno). In the following centuries the first arch started to decay, and local people were forced to use a now dismissed road at the bottom of the valley.
In 1862, with the construction of the new Cavedago-Doss-Lavezol-Andalo street, the bridge was put back into use by building a second arch.
In 1912, with the construction of SS-421 (Andalo-Rocchetta), the third and last bridge was built. Cars now use this third bridge to move to and from the Paganella Plateau.
The three bridges were finally restored and refinished in the ‘90s.
