Italy bridge collapses in heavy rain
Part of a highway bridge on the Italian island of Sardinia has been swept away as a result of heavy rains , firefighter footage showed Wednesday .
The road had been closed to traffic earlier after a sink hole opened up , but the collapse of the bridge across a swollen river effectively cut the highway in two .
No vehicles were on the road at the time .
Italy ’ s creaking infrastructure has come under fresh scrutiny following the collapse in bad weather of a bridge in Genoa in August , killing 43 people .
That disaster was the latest in a string of such collapses in Italy, where roads and bridges are showing the effects of a faltering economy .
