The bridge |
The bridge design was developed by the Genoese architect Renzo Piano through his ''Building Workshop'' and was officially presented on 7 September 2018 together with the President of [[Liguria]] [[Giovanni Toti]], the Mayor of Genoa [[Marco Bucci (politician)|Marco Bucci]] and the CEOs of Autostrade per l'Italia and [[Fincantieri]], [[Giovanni Castellucci]] and Giuseppe Bono respectively. The project includes four lanes and two emergency lanes. |

The viaduct |
The viaduct is constantly monitored by four robots (designed by the ''[[Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia]]'') equipped with wheels (with which they were to move along the external rails of the viaduct) and articulated arms. The role of these robots was to automate inspection of the lower surface of the bridge and the cleaning of windproof barriers and solar panels.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ilsecoloxix.it/genova/2020/07/29/news/ponte-pronti-i-robot-che-vigileranno-sulla-sicurezza-del-viadotto-1.39136591|title=Ponte, pronti i robot che vigileranno sulla sicurezza del viadotto|website=Il Secolo XIX|date=2020-07-29|language=it|access-date=2020-07-30}}</ref> |

The Genoa Saint George Bridge[1] (Italian: Viadotto Genova-San Giorgio)[2] is a motorway viaduct that crosses the Polcevera river and the districts of Sampierdarena and Cornigliano, in the city of Genoa. It was designed by architect Renzo Piano.
The bridge replaces the Ponte Morandi (Polcevera Viaduct), which partially collapsed on 14 August 2018 and was demolished in June 2019.
The new viaduct, with its associated junctions, constitutes the initial section of the Italian A10 motorway, managed by the concessionaire Autostrade per l'Italia, which in turn is included in the European route E80.
The new bridge was inaugurated on 3 August 2020.
Eigenschaften
[edit]The bridge design was developed by the Genoese architect Renzo Piano through his Building Workshop and was officially presented on 7 September 2018 together with the President of Liguria Giovanni Toti, the Mayor of Genoa Marco Bucci and the CEOs of Autostrade per l'Italia and Fincantieri, Giovanni Castellucci and Giuseppe Bono respectively. The project includes four lanes and two emergency lanes.
Built as a mixed steel-concrete structure, it is 1,067 metres (3,501 ft) long, approximately 31 metres (102 ft) wide and 45 metres (148 ft) high and consists of 19 spans supported by 18 elliptical section reinforced concrete stacks with a constant shape.
The viaduct is constantly monitored by four robots (designed by the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia) equipped with wheels (with which they were to move along the external rails of the viaduct) and articulated arms. The role of these robots was to automate inspection of the lower surface of the bridge and the cleaning of windproof barriers and solar panels.[3]
The entire metal deck and concrete piers are constantly monitored by a system designed by the CETENA SpA company of the Fincantieri group. The system is made up of 240 fibre optic sensors and constantly detects the movements of the deck, the inclinations of the piles, the vibrations of the structure and the vehicular traffic, providing real-time reports to the manager of the motorway section.

It also has a dehumidification system to prevent the build-up of saline condensation and limit corrosion damage.
