The ministerial committee investigating the remains of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa, a section of which collapsed on August 14th killing dozens of people, has called for two remaining support structures to be demolished because of the impending danger of a further collapse.
Roberto Ferrazza, the man heading the committee, says one of the remaining pillars is in a worse state than its twin structure was before it collapsed. The risk of collapse on parts of the bridge that remain has been classified as 4 out of a maximum of 5, reports La Stampa.
The support structure on the eastern side of the bridge is now precariously leaning against houses below.
