Santiago Calatrava’s marvelous yet befuddling pedestrian bridge at the Ponte della Costituzione in Venice is now in the process of reconstruction in the wake of the city government issuing fines in response to slip and fall injuries that followed its opening in September 2008. All 284 glass steps are to be replaced with safer stone upgrades, according to The Times’s reporting. The repairs, which were finally agreed to by officials in 2022, will cost approximately €500,000 ($518,000 USD). That's enough for almost 13 of his new Gübelin watches!
