A new bridge proposal in Italy could utilize a Solar Wind concept, incorporating both wind and solar energy into its design.

The Solar Wind concept was conceived for a contest to repurpose unused viaducts in Southern Italy. Wind turbines installed in the spaces between the viaduct could provide 36 million kilowatt hours of energy, while a solar paneled roadway would provide an additional 11.2 million kilowatt hours. The concept even includes plans for solar powered greenhouses along the bridge and pull over spaces for travelers to enjoy the view.
