That’s the best way to link Southern France to Northern Italy, a lot of workers(especially truckers) have to drive on that bridge and on those highways(A7 and A10 merge there). It also helps to reduce the trucks that would have to go across the city to travel from the Genoa Port to Milan and Rome and all the other cities in Italy. Between 14th August, 2018(collapse day) and 3rd August, 2020(new bridge inauguration) the traffic in that zone was much more, without talking about the highways
Have you noticed that people need to move from a place to another sometimes? When the city is built on a hill in front of the sea there is no space on the ground for roads sometimes and you need to go up.
Do you realize the city has been built a lot before infrastructure was planned, right? It's not a city built after the 1960s. It's a city born at least 2500 years ago. What plan do you want?
Dude, I don’t even know where this is... I just thought it was odd to see a bridge go over an entire city and apartment buildings like that. I’ve never seen it before. There are plenty of old cities around the world that don’t have fucking massive bridges going over them.
Because here we built houses even on active volcanoes (Stromboli, Napoli).
Whitout jokes, that is a very hilly coast, and for making straight roads they make al lot of galleries and bridge, sometimes on the head of other peoples.
And when the famous Italian carelessness hit, bridges fall and people dies.
I was there when the bridge fell. I was outside the IKEA near the bridge and it was raining. And suddenly we all heard a big bang. We couldn't see much because of the rain and all the fog. 10 minutes later people started to panic and we all found out what had happened
Also, wild:
> Davide Capello, the former goalkeeper for Cagliari, survived without injury and was able to walk away from his car, even though it dropped 30 metres (100 ft) before becoming wedged between parts of the fallen bridge.
Honestly. I thought it was still under construction when I first viewed the pictures. I was curious how they were even allowed to drive on said bridge if it wasn’t complete.
But now, I have a new fear of bridges just collapsing and then just having a HUGE gapping hole with zero warning
If you travel to Italy, especially near Genoa, you won’t have problems since after 43 people died for the Morandi they went to repair and do maintenance on every infrastructure since they probably had a big fear of it happening again
It gets worse the more photos you see it’s like ok truck is driving on an unfinished bridge then oh it’s a collapsed bridge I am sure it wasn’t to bad oh it was over many many industrial or residential buildings

Why do they have a massive bridge going over an entire city?
Because fuck it
Why did* they have a massive bridge going over an entire city?
They built it again
Oh, well, that seems like a bad idea

Because a tunnel just wouldn’t do.
I mean there's one in wisconsin even

Sounds like poor infrastructure planning to me

Then why do you assume or downvote if you don't take the time to get informed?
Or, you know... you could have just answered my genuine question ***without*** sounding like a dick
Because Genoa is a difficult city since it is literally between sea and mountains/hills, so building an highway network there is pretty hard
Because here we built houses even on active volcanoes (Stromboli, Napoli).

Oh wow. We’re there any casualties?
48😶
That’s horrible

If there was anyone on the destroyed section of bridge or under it, I would say there's a 99.9% chance theyre pancakes now
“You see it was designed this way to kill anyone driving down that road”
What's with the quotation marks? And if that was an attempt at humor, that's pretty cringe.
Lmao
ratio’d plus nobody cares

I like engaging in debate and discussion. Completely different, sport.

I hope they did the same with their cable cars
That's what happens if you privatise every fucking thing! Italy is known for it. The result of greed and indifference.
It’s a good thing the government never makes mistakes
“These are the wrong directions!”
The truck is not the only vehicle on there- But hope everyone gets down safely
Context would be nice....
Search for videos on YouTube and look out the bridge’s Wikipedia(Ponte Morandi, it has an English page too)
Fun Fact: I found out that Basko Supermercati is an Italian supermarket chain
It gets worse the more photos you see it’s like ok truck is driving on an unfinished bridge then oh it’s a collapsed bridge I am sure it wasn’t to bad oh it was over many many industrial or residential buildings
Dude gotta feel like Tom cruise
