I wondered if the lack of government oversight and ownership contributed to this bridge disaster: poor construction, poor repairs, poor ongoing maintenance because no one was looking over Autostrada's figurative shoulder. Here's an interesting opinion piece on just this question, published a few days ago in Bloomberg. The author's answer is no, not necessarily.

We often don't appreciate how all those onerous highway construction regulations keep us safe here on this side of the pond.

When I first looked at the pictures, I didn't realize those spindly looking legs were reinforced concrete. I thought they were steel . . . . .
