English: The image shows the original Lower Ticino Bridge on the southern access ramp to the Gotthard Rail Tunnel with Giornico in the background and a steam locomotive with two flatcars passing the bridge. The picture was taken before 1878 with commercial operation of this central part of the Gotthardbahn only starting in June of 1882 and the ramps and the Gotthardtunnel still under construction.
The bridge shows the single beam truss construction that was typical for the majority of the original bridges on this line, and which with increasing traffic loads had to be fortified with supporting fishbellies or arches until they eventually had to be replaced with reinforced concrete or other bridges.
The routes from Giornico to the neighboring stations of Lavorgo and Bodio exhibit the steepest inclines of the Gotthardbahn of up to 27‰.
