About a year and half ago I wrote about the
non-bridge of Crocetta, the strange result of the works for
the new canal in our historical Venice quarter. After four years since the dig started and a couple of years since it was completed, there is still a pile of dirt where a new bridge should have been. The reddish girder across the canal in foreground should have been one of the two projected footbridges, the other one is a grayish line just below the yellow building in background.
The soil has now been secured with barriers and concrete, so the non-bridge has become an real isthmus.
This will be another welcoming sign for the tourists coming in town from the new bus terminal, planned just outside the walls, across the isthmus.

Nice to see some progress.
I agree with Michelle.
Sometimes it takes a while for progress to be made!
You have just got a new PM in Italy I heard on the news, but I guess he can`t do much.
I guess it is just to wait and wait.
In Norway we have a saying that the beginning is half of the work......
Well, than it is just to wait for the other half.....
Looks like you have got nice days with spring in the air. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
It is a sad sight and state of affairs to see but your sarcasm is great.
Unfortunately we see these signs in other parts of Europe too. In my town, the Major started a lot of projects, so we have a lot of working points, which do not add to the impression people can get when coming in town. But I have to add that Timisoara is in competition to gain the title of Cultural European City, sometime in the distant future.
Oh good!
Step by step...
So what's keeping them? Lack of €?
ciel - Good guess!
