Accident in the construction site of the new Polcevera viaduct: "three people were slightly bruised, they are receiving the appropriate care", informs the commissioner that manages the reconstruction of the new Genoa viaduct, after the tragic collapse of the Ponte Morandi. At 11.40, a crane that was working next to the new deck, tilted to one side, probably due to the subsidence of the underlying land due to the heavy rains of the last hours."The crane fell, resting on one of the decks that is still on the ground, for assembly operations", they added from the structure. The workings of the new bridge, designed by Renzo Piano, take place on the ground, where the various components are assembled and then, with enormous cranes, they are raised to altitude, and welded to the already raised bridge segments. The reconstruction site workers are working to bring the area back into safety.
One worker was discharged with a few days of prognosis, another is still making visits and the third was subjected to more detailed investigations, but the conditions do not cause concern. For the first two workers the code was green, for the third yellow. This was announced by the health directorate of the Villa Scassi hospital in Genoa where the three were transported due to the accident that occurred in the construction site of the new Polcevera viaduct. The ASL3 inspectors intervened on the site for the findings of the case.
