Name of the Project
Polcevera river bridge.

Location
Genoa, Italy.

Client
Autostrade.

Project Description
The bridge over the Polcevera connects the Port of Genoa and the wider coastal area to France. The bridge collapsed in August 2017.

The new bridge will play an important role in Genoa’s returning to being an important shipping and commercial hub. It will have a continuous 1 100-m-long steel deck with 20 spans. It will have 19 elliptical piers made of reinforced concrete, the majority of which positioned 50 m from each other.

Two of the piers will be 100 m from each other because of their location on the river and the railway.

The design takes into account that the bridge crosses a densely populated area.

Potential Job Creation
None stated.

Value
Not stated.

Duration
The project is expected to take 12 months to complete, which will start after the demolition of the old bridge.

Latest Developments
None stated.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
Pergenova, a joint venture between Salini Impregilo and Fincantieri Infrastructure (construction contract).

On Budget and on Time?
Too early to state.
