838. Mesoco Gr. Autostrada S, Bernardino. Ponte Nanin-Ponte Gagela


Dear Pierre,

Swiss bridge designer Christian Menn achieved a high 
level
of lightness and transparency in these two remarkable
Mesocco Valley bridges. Menn identified himself very much 
with Maillart's structural principles.

Best regards.
