Rubble from the bridge, closed to the motorway A4 Brescia Today

The alarm was triggered around 19 when some drivers have reported falling debris from a bridge of the A4. So a week after the drama of Lecco, where the collapse of a bridge has caused one dead and six injured, in Brescia, it is wanted to be cautious. The rubble, when less than an apple, have fallen from a bridge, beach huts overlooking the A4 motorway. Under the lens of the Fire Brigade and the Local Police is, therefore, completed the bridge 218 to the height of San Polo. For over two and a half hours the Firemen were at work and the highway was closed to allow the necessary controls in both directions, causing long queues, first to Venice and then along the direction of Milan. Fortunately, the debris would not hit any of the cars travelling on the A 4 highway and structural inspections, excluding major damage, have confirmed the soundness of the building. So in the evening everything is back to normal. “We intervened to clean up the bays, and to prevent the concrete could hit the car in the race, he emphasized, the provincial commander of the Fire Brigade, Agatino Carrolo, who has personally coordinated the intervention on the bridge. The stability of the structure is confirmed and the work has served to secure the entire area after the reports arrive at 112″.

In fact, the alarm was triggered after reports of some motorists who saw the pieces of concrete to precipitate the asphalt and tap their car. At that point, the reports have been collected by the traffic Police. The rest of the story of Lecco has lagged, forcing the minister of Infrastructure and Transport Graziano Delrio to ask for more controls to local authorities. “The care of the territory has been for too long neglected – has underlined Delrio -. We put aside the law on the great works, now we need to focus on maintenance”.

Our roads and our bridges fall to pieces and Renzi what does it do? Cut the funds to Anas in order to use them to fund its expression elections? Renzi and Padoan restore the funds to Anas, otherwise you will have responsibility in the case of new settlements of our points”.

for months, it also discusses in Brescia on the node and maintenance of roads and the shortage of funds has been accentuated by the frictions between the president of the Province Pier Luigi Mottinelli and the Region. With the transfer of the skills, in fact, the skills, the Broletto was found to take care of 1.580 km of asphalt, of which 560, until recently, managed by Anas.

with a budget crystallized three million, almost a third of the resources necessary to ensure the maintenance. Among the other roads managed by the Province hold a record of Italian 12-speed cameras, combined with a tutor. In 2015 were inflicted on 317 thousand in fines, which have generated 31 million, of which about 20 actually received. In the first 6 months of 2016, thanks to the minutes, the citizens have already paid 16 million. Money that the Province could allocate to the manutenzione.Giuseppe.spatola@bresciaoggi.it
