New Genoa Bridge Inaugurated Two Years After Collapse That Killed 43
A wide angle view shows the Italian Air Force acrobatic unit Frecce Tricolori performing over the new San Giorgio bridge on its inauguration day on August 3, 2020 in Genoa.Italy inaugurates a sleek new bridge in Genoa on Monday, though relatives of the 43 people killed when the old viaduct collapsed say the pomp and ceremony risk overshadowing the tragedy.
“You can have this sort of big party if you knock down the bridge because it’s old, you build a new one, and no one’s died.” The new high-tech structure will have four maintenance robots running along its length to spot weathering or erosion, as well as a special dehumidification system to limit corrosion.Architect Piano, a Genoa native whose building designs include the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and The Shard in London, has described his new creation as a “child born of tragedy”.
The Morandi was hailed a marvel of engineering when it opened in 1967, but an investigation into the disaster found it was neglected.
