The bridge is located in the south, outside the town of Pontriccioli, part of the municipality of Cantiano (PU).
The bridge is so called because of the presence of the original three arches, each about 3 m wide, and subsequently blocked by two walls reinforced to them leaning. The base is in regular rows of stone carnelian, while the external face is made up of smaller plates, put in place to dry. The work was carried out to allow the water from the small valley that opens to the right, subject to landslides, to flow without causing damage to the street. To this purpose has also been made ​​upstream a collection tank that harnesses the waters of the slope.
