GENOA, ITALY (AFP) - A new bridge in the Italian coastal city of Genoa opened on Tuesday (Aug 4) to traffic two years after the old one collapsed, killing 43 people.

Just after 2000 GMT (4am on Wednesday, Singapore time), the first vehicles, including those with AFP journalists, crossed the San Giorgio bridge that replaces the one that gave way during heavy rains on Aug 14, 2018.
