03 April 2020 The race against time of the construction site of the new Genoa bridge continues where Salini Impregilo and Fincantieri are working on the activities necessary for the completion of the structures already at height and for the lifting of the last decks.

On Sunday, a new deck is expected to be lifted which will bring the structure to over 900 meters in length. In these days the connection of the 'shoulder' to the pile 18 is carried out thanks to a temporary tower which allows to divide the operations in two in a steep area.

Then it will be the turn of the 50-meter span, the 14th out of the 19th planned by the project, which weighs about 480 tons.

In addition to the dismantling of the artificial ford created to be able to hoist the central span of the new bridge, activities have also resumed on the access ramp to the motorway to the west.

Meanwhile, on the ground, a series of particularly complex operations for the preparation of the bridge slab are proceeding in parallel: 8 thousand meters of concrete worked simultaneously from the ends towards the center of the structure with a continuous jet 24 hours a day.
