Italy to launch plan
MILAN: The government will launch a plan aimed at making Italy’s infrastructure safe, a government official said yesterday, after the collapse of a motorway bridge in Genoa killed 43 people.
Giancarlo Giorgetti, undersecretary in the prime minister’s office and a leading member of the League party, said the plan would include motorways, bridges and viaducts but also public buildings such as schools.
“It will be a maintenance operation with no precedents, with enormous investment.” – Reuters
