The Bisantis bridge (official name: Bisantis viaduct, also called Morandi bridge, viaduct over the Fiumarella, or U Ponta 'e Catanzaru and U Ponta subb'a Hjumareddha in Catanzarense dialect) is an arch bridge for road and pedestrians, composed of a single carriageway and three lanes, two in the southwest direction and one in the northeast direction. Built on a single reinforced concrete arch, it connects the center of Catanzaro with State Highway 280 of the Two Seas (Vial de Filippis, Sansinato tunnel) and to the northwest with the periphery of the city (districts of Mater Domini and Gagliano), located on the opposite side of the Fiumarella river valley.

Built by the Sogene company according to the project of engineer Riccardo Morandi, at the time of its inauguration it was the second single-arch bridge in reinforced concrete in Europe and in the world due to the width of its light, after the Swedish Sandöbron bridge. Today, despite being out of the top 20 places in this international classification, it is still a milestone in the history of world engineering.
