Viadotto Marrazzita
Partial collapse of the Viadotto Marrazzita on the SP2 'Saurina' at km 4+100 near Stigliano (Matera, Basilicata) on 18 March 2016, caused by intense rainfall that saturated the roadway embankment and caused the voiding of material around a bridge abutment, opening a large sinkhole. The Provincia di Matera issued emergency ordinance n.21/2016 closing the SP2. TOTAL E&P S.p.A. funded emergency repair works; the bridge was reopened within approximately two weeks. No fatalities or injuries were reported. Saturazione e svuotamento del materiale del rilevato stradale documentati dalle fonti (viadotto Marrazzita).
