Abstract: 
Located in the Italian RA05 motorway, the viaduct Pietrastretta is an example of large infrastructures constructed in the 1970s. This post-tensioned concrete viaduct, seriously damaged by several different chemical and physical aggressions, needed to undergo both structural reinforcement and maintenance of the concrete structures recently. This article delivers an insight into inspections and testing conducted, into the problems highlighted and into the solutions adopted to refurbish, repair and reinforce some of the 21 spans of this 850 m motorway viaduct.
