Patchwork of repair works
RECENT images appear to show how the Morandi Bridge had been repeatedly patched up with repairs.
It was claimed yesterday there were years of warnings and the collapse of the 51-year-old structure was blamed on poor maintenance by operator Autostrade Per Italia.
The Italian government called on managers to quit. But the firm said: “The collapse was unpredictable. The bridge was supervised well beyond what the law required.”
