Civilization

Since Ancient Rome, bridges have always been drivers for the economy and for the development of countries, built to meet a need that seems simple: joining two pieces of land, connecting people, intensifying commerce, shortening distances between communities that would be otherwise far away from each other.

The Webuild Group has contributed during the last century and has today arrived at a record of over 1,000 bridges and viaducts already built. From the Recco Viaduct, built in 1922 and then rebuilt in 1948 after the bombings of the Second World War; to the suspended bridges on the Bosphorous, the Second and Third, and the most recent Braila Bridge, over the Danube, in Romania. And then again, to the Genoa San Giorgio Bridge that was finished in 2020 after a little more than a year of works.

Whether made of wood, brick, metal, concrete or a mix of everything, the important thing is that bridges do exist, as they represent human.

“Every bridge should unite two shores. Usefulness and beauty”, wrote Polish poet Stanisław Jerzy Lec: if a bridge can join these two, it can unite, we must add, more than one shore. Just explore and see!
