Shares in Italian infrastructure group Atlantia suspended over Genoa bridge
collapse

ROME, Aug 16, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Shares in Italian infrastructure group
Atlantia, which operates the motorway on which a bridge in Genoa collapsed,
were suspended from trading on the Milan stock exchange on Thursday.

Atlantia’s prime asset is Autostrade per l’Italia, which operates the A10
highway where a segment of the overpass collapsed, killing at least 39
people. Its shares had already plunged by more by 10 percent on Tuesday,
before closing 5.4 percent lower at 23.54 euros.
