Reopened on 28 October 2013, after work to ensure full accessibility and usability of the street, it is part of the wider project to pedestrianize Via dei Fori Imperiali in order to enhance the entire archaeological area, thus providing a privileged view of the excavations of the Imperial Forums and Trajan's Markets.

Via Alessandrina was the main thoroughfare of the "Alessandrino" district built in the second half of the 16th century by Cardinal Michele Bonelli, a native of the province of Alessandria, hence the origin of the street's name.
This street is the only remaining evidence of the district, which was completely demolished in the 1930s for the opening of Via dell'Impero, today's Via dei Fori Imperiali. 

The Footbridge of Campo Carleo
Connects the area of the Fori Imperiali with the Monti district.
The current structure, suspended over the archaeological area of the Forum of Trajan, replaces the ancient via di Campo Carleo, which was dismantled in the 1930s during excavations and replaced first with a wooden footbridge, then with a concrete and iron one, which was damaging the wall to which it was attached.
The characteristics of the path are: the material (cor-ten iron and steel); the low impact on the skyline of the archaeological area; the respect for the monument to which it is attached, without damaging the ancient material; the connection with Via Alessandrina according to the principles of the removal of architectural barriers.
