Despite starting to show signs of deterioration in the 1990s and a number of proposals to replace the bridge in the intervening years\, few initiatives were undertaken in a meaningful manner. \nThe presentation explores the background and design philosophy of the designer Morandi\, overviews the construction and design of the Genoa bridge and highlights the possible causes of the collapse. The presentation concludes with some lessons learnt that could be relevant to New Zealand bridge infrastructure.
