August 14, 2018 will remain forever a fateful date in Italian history. On that day, in Geona, the Morandi bridge – specifically the part of the viaduct stretching over the Polcevera stream connecting the Genoese districts of Sampierdarena and Cornigliano – collapsed. 43 people were killed in the incident and 556 had to be evacuated. Almost two years after this dramatic event, on August 4th, 2020 the brand new Genoa San Giorgio bridge was inaugurated and opened to the public.<\/p>\n
The Genoa San Giorgio Bridge<\/strong> was immediately recognised as a symbol of rebirth and of a new way of approaching public infrastructure. “Innovative”<\/strong> and “sustainable”<\/strong> are the adjectives most often used to describe it. As well as strategically connecting road traffic in Liguria, the new bridge aims at qualifying as the first Italian infrastructure designed entirely according to sustainability criteria.<\/strong> The structure, designed by architect Renzo Piano<\/strong>, is bright and stands in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape, thanks to the clear paint finish of its steel elements. The viaduct will also be enriched with intelligent, sustainable technologies, powered by solar panels<\/strong><\/a>, to monitor its state constantly, verify the need for maintenance work in real-time, and dehumidify the pillars, thus avoiding the formation of salt condensation and reducing the risk of corrosion.<\/p>\n Become an exhibitor for mobility sector<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t
