GENOA, Italy (Reuters) - Italian toll-road operator Autostrade per l'Italia, which managed a bridge that collapsed in Genoa this week, has set aside about 500 million euros (448.52 million pounds) worth of investment for the port city to help it recover from the disaster.

On Tuesday, a 200-metre section of the Morandi viaduct gave way in busy lunchtime traffic, killing at least 38 people and severing the city's main land link with southern France.
