Article Bridge Collapse in Genoa

https://www.google.co.il/maps/@44.4237189,8.8871721,16z?hl=en

Another tragedy for the Ligurians - Genoa has unfortunately experienced floods and casualties, even in recent years, and there have also been the mudslides in the CT area. This disaster seems unprecedented in its severity. I hope that rescue efforts will still manage to save lives - it's going to be a long night. How sad and terrible.
 
☹️
I am trying to picture where this bridge is located. I heard on the news that it is on the motorway that connects the Italian coast with the French coast.
 
My wife has cousins in Genoa who have told her that they are safe, but that the region is in shock over the collapse and loss of life. We have often commented on the sky-touching feel of many bridges along the Ligurian coast when we are driving north from Lucca -- I hope that there is money in the Italian budget for a very active infrastructure inspection as part of the response to this tragedy.
 
There have apparently been known structural problems with the bridge and has undergone repairs in recent years. It was about to undergo additional repairs. Very sad.
