Motorway safety checking firm
SPEA will be gradually replaced by a temporary group including
premier international firms by mid-December, Italian motorway
group ASPI said Monday after recent bridge collapses following
the August 2018 Genoa Morandi Bridge disaster that killed 43
people.
"By mid December a temporary business group, which will
comprise some firms of an international level, will gradually
replace SPEA in the activities of surveillance for ASPI," said
ASPI CEO Roberto Tomasi.
Two bridges collapsed due to landslides after heavy rains
last month briefly cutting off Genoa.
The Morandi Bridge is being replaced by a new one designed by
starchitect Renzo Piano, a Genoa native.
It features sail-like pylons to reflect Genoa's maritime
heritage.
