The Piacenza bridge, 40 miles south of Milan. This steel and concrete bridge3 has connected the cities of Piacenza and Lodi, spanning a remarkable 3,300 feet across the Po River. But in 2009, a dangerous flood causes the Po's water level to rise more than 20 feet. On April 30th, disaster strikes: The northern end of the bridge collapses, taking with it four vehicles. The bridge has now become the latest challenge for a team of Italian deconstruction experts. With a radical plan, state of the art machinery, and a recycling mandate of 90%, Despe Demolizioni Speciali will have just 90 days to break this bridge12 down to make room for a new one.
