The Ponte Corvo, rarely Ponte Corbo, is a Roman segment arch bridge over the Bacchiglione in Padua ( Italy ). The three preserved arches of the imperial bridge lead over a side arm of the river and are partially buried or walled up. The arrow ratio varies between 2.8 and 3.4 to 1; the ratio of clear width to pillar strength ranges from 4.9 to 6.9 to 1.
In addition to the Ponte Corvo , there are four other ancient flat arch bridges in Padua, the Ponte San Lorenzo , the Ponte Altinate , the Ponte Molino and the Ponte San Matteo .
