Abstract
Genova San Giorgio is the name of the motorway viaduct that crosses the Polcevera stream and the Genoese districts of Certosa, Sampierdarena, and Cornigliano. Inaugurated on August 3, 2020, in the presence of the highest officials of the Italian state, the current bridge replaced the first Polcevera viaduct, also called “Morandi” bridge, which was inaugurated in 1967 and has become known due to the partial collapse on August 14, 2018, which led to its total demolition in 2019. The architecture of the new bridge was designed by the architect Renzo Piano (Studio Renzo Piano Building Workshop) and donated to the city of Genoa. With reference to road pavements, the reconstruction of the San Giorgio viaduct in Genoa, in addition to marking a historical moment for Italian roads, represents the starting point for the study and design of pavements for viaducts characterized by an innovative approach.
