At least 35 people, 3 children among them, died when a bridge Morandi near Genoa collapsed after the lightning strike. A dozen cars which were on the bridge at the moment of the accident came crashing down into the abyss, together with the parts of the bridge construction.

Rescuers are still searching for the victims, and there is fear that this isn't the final count of the dead. Many called the tragedy "apocalyptic."

Photos of the terrible accident are still being shared on social networks, and the readers from Montenegro warked about the catastrophic state of a bridge in their country.

It is a bridge Ujtin Potok which is located at the highroad Bar-Ulcinj. The photos of this bridge were published on a Facebook page "Podgoricki Vremeplov".

It can be seen on them that the bridge has cracked. It is a viaduct near the place Dobre Vode, and the crack can be seen on the outer part of the bridge.

After the tragedy in Genoa, readers are worried that this bridge might collapse as well.

- They will fix it when it collapsed, and perhaps they won't, not even then, terrible - wrote one user on Facebook.

Judging by the readers' comments, the bridge has been in this condition for the past 10 years.

- It will be worse than Genoe when some earthquake strikes - a worried man from Montenegro wrote.

The bridge Ujtin Potok is one of the largest bridges on the highway Bar-Ulcinj, and hundreds of cars are passing over it each day, and that number is even increased during the summer season.

The bridge in a constructive sense represents a continual carrier over 5 fields. The total length is 150 m with two traffic lanes and walking trails and in a gentle curve with a transverse and longitudinal slope.

The authorities have explained on several occasions that traffic safety is not compromised, since the cracks are on the outside and do not affect the construction of the bridge, and the experts explained that this is the so-called. "Gerber's wrist", that is the carrier that was installed in the bridge to avoid its bending, written by Barinfo.me.

- About five meters from the third pillar, the bridge is dilated (separated), which gives the wrong image to the inexperienced public about its stability. Based on the visual inspection, it can be concluded that there are minor damages on the bridge that need to be repaired, but they are currently not at all a threat to the stability of the bridge construction and traffic on it - the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs announced in April last year.
