GENOA, Italy - Day and night for months on end hundreds of workers have been toiling with cranes, pipes, concrete blocks and steel rods to complete a new bridge in the northern Italian port city of Genoa by a summer deadline.
Forty three people were killed on Aug. 14, 2018, when the old bridge collapsed, hurling cars and trucks to the ground below and prompting national outrage, especially against infrastructure group Atlantia which had operated it. “It is the building site that never sleeps,” Nicola Meistro, Operative Director for Italy’s biggest builder Salini Impregilo, said as he stood under the partially-completed bridge.
Work has now gone past the halfway mark, with 16 of the 18 planned 40 metre-high columns in place and seven out of 19 deck sections laid.
