Italy's biggest builder Salini Impregilo and shipbuilder Fincantieri have won the contract to rebuild a bridge that collapsed in August, killing 43 people, in the port city of Genoa.
The project will cost 202 million euros ($230 million) - excluding value added tax - and be completed in 12 months, Marco Bucci, the special commissioner appointed by the government to oversee the reconstruction, said on Tuesday.
The concrete bridge, the responsibility of infrastructure group Atlantia's unit Autostrade per l'Italia, collapsed on August 14, severing part of a motorway linking Genoa with southern France.
A huge 260ft section of the Morandi bridge gave way about 11.30am, when the arterial highway west of the city centre was packed with cars and trucks.
Vehicles fell 150ft along with tonnes of twisted steel and concrete debris into a river, railroad tracks and an industrial zone below, flattening vehicles and leaving rubble embedded in buildings.

'Twelve months to help re-launch Genoa... that is the dream that we are hoping to give the Genoese before Christmas in memory of the victims of this terrible tragedy,' said Pietro Salini, chief executive of Salini Impregilo.
Public works will kick start the economy and create jobs again, Salini added.
Famed Genoa-born architect Renzo Piano, who donated a proposal for the new viaduct, has agreed to supervise the works, Bucci, who is also the mayor of Genoa, said during a news conference.
The new viaduct will be realized by Salini-Fincantieri-Italferr on the basis of a design by Italian architect Renzo Piano
The port in Genoa will have a new bridge within a year, said Mayor of Genoa, Marco Bucci, who has been appointed by the Italian government as the commissioner for the reconstruction of the highway bridge
The collapse put at risk the activity of the port, which last year accounted for 1.5 percent of Italy's gross domestic product.
A photo allegedly taken not long before the accident appeared to show cables hanging from the sides of the bridge.
Both families of victims and government ministers expressed outrage over the disaster, which was blamed on a lack of maintenance by Autostrade, which is a private company that operates many of Italy's toll highways.

The government blamed Autostrade for the disaster and decided to exclude the business from the reconstruction project, even though it will have to pay for it.
Autostrade and some of its top managers are under investigation for the collapse. Atlantia, controlled by the Benetton family, has put aside 350 million euros to cover the estimated cost of rebuilding.
'We promised the families of the victims that Autostrade would not even place a stone and that's the case,' Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio said in Rome.
Autostrade is planning to file a legal challenge against the government decree that excludes it from rebuilding the viaduct.
Italferr, a unit of state-owned railway company Ferrovie dello Stato, will also be involved in the project, the transport ministry said in a statement.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
