Located on Via Milano, just downstream from the historic center, it is a pink Baveno granite bridge with two masonry abutments. It dates approximately to between 1845 and 1850, replacing an earlier bridge considered too steep and oblique. It is registered as a cultural asset (infrastructure/bridge) under the "Ponte di Milano" entry in the Lombardy regional catalog of Cultural Heritage. An anchor and the symbol of Mercury are carved on its arch, references to navigation and trade on the Naviglio. A towpath, used for hauling barges and for accessing a washhouse still visible on the left bank, runs or once ran under the bridge. In many city initiatives, the commercial-pedestrian route is described as "from the bridge on Via Milano to Via Monsignor Cazzaniga," confirming its role as an entry point and urban hub. This bridge is distinct from the more central “Ponte di Legno” and the new Villa Pompea bridge, which are other historic cycle-path structures on the same waterway.
