You can rest assured this bridge specification will not meet Western requirements. Very little if anything here does. Structures anywhere in the world can and do fail on occasions, so yes this will have a greater probability of failing than what we have in our own countries, but most likely it will be standing problem free for many years to come, as do all of the other substandard buildings.

So they wont be the same standard as Italian Bridges?

Quite possibly.

In the continuing interest of filling brown paper envelopes.
