Remains
- For an overview of the location of Roman bridges, see List of Roman bridges.
Extant remains of the road consist of rare patches of pavement (by far the largest is an intermittent stretch about 800 meters long at Rignano Flaminio in the northern Lazio), but for the most part of bridges, listed here in order from Rome:
- From Rome to Narni:
- the Milvian Bridge (now Ponte Milvio)
- the Pile di Augusto
- Ponte Sanguinaro S of Narni
- the great bridge at Narni
- Along the western branch:
- Ponte Caldaro, damaged in World War II
- Ponte Calamone both before Sangemini
- Ponte Fonnaia near Acquasparta
- a bridge just outside Acquasparta, on which was built the church of S. Giovanni de Butris
- Ponte del Diavolo at Cavallara near Bastardo
- Along the eastern branch:
- Ponte Sanguinaro in Spoleto
- scant remains of a bridge at Pontebari
- After the branches rejoin at S. Giovanni Profiamma:
- bridge-like structure at Pieve Fanonica
- Le Spugne near Nocera Umbra
- three bridges in the comune of Fossato di Vico (one of which, however, belongs properly to a branch road off the main trunk of the Flaminia)
- Ponte Spiano in Costacciaro
- an imposing bridge at Villa Scirca, blown up in World War II
- five bridges in the comune of Cantiano, near Pontedazzo and Pontericcioli
- Ponte Mallio (or Manlio) at Cagli, which appears to be partly of pre-Roman (Umbrian) construction
- Gallery at Furlo Pass
Other notable Roman vestiges along the road, aside from those within the individual towns, include a pair of tower tombs between Bevagna and Foligno; and along the eastern branch of the Flaminia in particular, in the area between Spoleto and Trevi, many small Romanesque churches, partly built of reused Roman stone (spolia) — including a few inscriptions — mark the straight line of the road quite clearly. A small stretch of the road remains in the ruins of Carsulae where it passes through the impressive Arco di Traiano.

Famous quotes containing the word remains:
“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.”
—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
“The trees, though not fully clothed, were in that delightful state, when further beauty is known to be at hand, and when, while much is actually given to the sight, more yet remains for the imagination.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“History teaches us that the great revolutions aren’t started by people who are utterly down and out, without hope and vision. They take place when people begin to live a little better—and when they see how much yet remains to be achieved.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
