A new bridge will be inaugurated in the Italian city of Genoa on Monday, two years after 43 people died when the previous structure collapsed.
The project cost 200 million euros, about $220 million, plus the cost of demolishing the Morandi bridge, which added another 90 million euros, or about $98 million.Italian architect Renzo Piano photographed in 2015."It all began with a tragic event that we will never forget. But now is the time to build on the positive energy that has been created and look to the future," said Ugo Salerno, President and CEO of RINA.
"Rapid construction is not a question of skipping procedural steps or paying less attention, but rather of planning each and every activity in detail to overcome the inevitable unforeseen events and get immediate and effective responses from all those involved, in particular from the public authorities."Local shop owner Luigi Speranza is hopeful for the future but will always remember the tragic collapse.
Built in the 1960s, the Morandi Bridge crossed the Polcevera river in central Genoa and was a vital link in the A10 highway that connects northwest Italy to France.It was one of the busiest bridges in the country, carrying freight and tourists to and from the port city of Genoa.
