Commissioner Marco Bucci, who is also Genoa’s mayor, said demolition works were running late by two to three weeks, but reconstruction had already begun
“We’re racing ahead and we’re still proceeding according to plan, which is to have the new bridge ready by April 2020,” he said.
Renowned Genoa-born architect Renzo Piano, who designed the Pompidou Centre in Paris and The Shard skyscraper in London, donated a proposal for the new viaduct and has agreed to supervise the works. The reconstruction contract has been awarded to Italy’s biggest builder Salini Impregilo and shipbuilder Fincantieri.
The collapse of the bridge has made access to the busy port in the northwestern city more difficult and also meant a lengthy detour for drivers wanting to head onwards to southern France.
