When the Morandi Bridge in Genoa collapsed in 2018, it served as a wake-up call for engineers around the world. The disaster demonstrated that even massive structures have a limited lifespan. At the same time, traffic, population, and extreme weather events are steadily increasing. In the construction of the new bridge in Genoa, engineers are therefore relying on intelligent monitoring systems and modern robotics. Elsewhere, too, the boundaries of what is possible are being pushed further and further: In Turkey, one of the world’s longest suspension bridges is under construction—designed to withstand strong winds, collisions with ships, and even severe earthquakes.
