Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has laid the blame for the Genoa bridge collapse on the European Union, saying that spending restrictions has limited the country’s investment in its infrastructure.
Salvini, the leader of the eurosceptic Northern League, told reporters in Sicily that the fall of the 100-meter-long stretch of the A10 motorway in the port city on Tuesday showed that budgetary strictures imposed by the EU are putting lives of Italians at risk............

“If external constraints prevent us from spending to have safe roads and schools, then it really calls into question whether it makes sense to follow these rules,” said Salvini, according to Reuters. “There can be no tradeoff between fiscal rules and the safety of Italians.”

Antonio Brencich, a professor specializing in reinforced concrete construction at the University of Genoa, called the Morandi bridge “a failure of engineering” in an interview with an Italian broadcaster in 2016. The academic told Primocanale: “That bridge is wrong. Sooner or later it will have to be replaced. I do not know when. But there will be a time when the cost of maintenance will be higher than a replacement.”

Pretty much the same all over Europe. Slash and burn, privatize public assets, and turn away while those assets get milked until they get beyond safe and/or effective/efficient.

Genoa bridge collapse: warning Europe now faces TRAFFIC CHAOS as key route lies in RUINS

THE Genoa bridge collapse could have major repercussions on traffic from the port city to the rest of Europe as a major motorway network branch was "split in two" in the accident that left at least 38 dead.

Biggest port in Italy, Genoa, I believe.
