Investigation continues into 2018 collapse of old viaduct.

Nearly 14 months after the Morandi viaduct collapsed in Genoa, Italy, killing 43 people, crews placed the first section of a 1,067-meter-long, 19-span steel and concrete replacement structure.

On the surface, it seemed like an outrageous defensive move following a painful tragedy. Louis Berger Group has refused requests from the Dept. of Labor to hand over emails with FIGG Bridge Engineers about its peer review of the ill-fated Florida International University pedestrian bridge.

A badly damaged section of the Boulder Turnpike, northwest of Denver, will undergo repairs as part of a contract signed this week by the Colorado Dept. of Transportation and Kraemer North America.

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.
