The rump of the Morandi Bridge
that collapsed in Genoa killing 43 on August 14 is dangerous and
must be either demolished or made safe as soon as possible, the
emergency committee on the disaster said Wednesday.
The remaining eastern portion of the wrecked bridge is
unsafe, according to inspectors led by architect Roberto
Ferrazza, the committee said.
The committee said it had written to the transport and
infrastructure ministry and the concessionary, Autostrade per
l'Italia, to "initiate the necessary intervention".
Prosecutors will seize files from Autostrade later Wednesday
relating to a probe into the collapse, sources said.
Design flaws and poor maintenance are suspected in the
collapse, which gained headlines worldwide.
The government is seeking to strip Autostrade of its motorway
license in the wake of the disaster.
