In the town of Bagnara, over which the A3 soars along a 380 metre high viaduct that not yet finished, the road has become a standing joke among locals like Gregorio Campira. He has collected photos of the viaduct at different stages of construction over the years, some of which are in black and white and date back to 1973. "It's like watching a movie, day after day, but a very slow one," he said. "Will it ever be built? I doubt it."
