Italy’s largest contractor Salini Impregilo S.p.A. and state-controlled shipbuilding giant Fincantieri Infrastructure have won a contract to rebuild the collapsed Polcevera Viaduct in Genoa.

After demolition of the old structure, the joint venture will follow a one-year schedule to complete the 1.1-kilometer-long, 20-span new structure with a continuous steelwork deck on concrete piers, designed by locally born architect Renzo Piano.
