On August 3, local time, nearly two years after the collapse that killed 43 people, a rebuilt bridge in Genoa, northern Italy, was put into use. On August 14, 2018, the Morandi Highway Bridge in Genoa collapsed, killing 43 people. Except for the Italians, the other victims were from Albania, Colombia, Chile, France and other countries. At the inauguration ceremony, the names of 43 victims were read out and a minute of silence was observed. The new bridge is named St. George Bridge and was designed by Renzo Piano, a famous Italian architect born in Genoa. The 1067-meter-long steel frame of the new bridge uses 17,400 tons of steel, uses a large amount of recycled materials, and installs an automatic sensor and solar energy system.
