Venice

A call for bids for the renovation of the Accademia Bridge (one of the four bridges across the Grand Canal) was recently launched by the City of Venice.

The winner will be assigned both the design and the restoration project and will have to be capable both of presenting a renovation plan and covering the restoration costs.

The winner will be entrusted with the task of directing and carrying out the works and the testing, as well as finding the sponsorship to finance the renovation of the upper structure of the bridge.

The estimated costs are 5 million euros and there will be no contribution by the City of Venice.
