Italy suffered its second road bridge collapse in 15 months in the northwest region of Liguria, raising major questions about the safety of the country’s aging infrastructure.
A viaduct on a stretch of the A6 highway between the Italian cities of Savona and Turin collapsed on Sunday during what highway officials called “exceptional rain” that caused a huge landslide from a nearby hillside. Twenty meters of the road collapsed, according to a statement from Autostrada dei Fiori, which manages that part of the highway.
