REGGIO EMILIA, Italy (Reuters) - Rebuilding work on a bridge that collapsed in the Italian city of Genoa last year killing 43 people is expected to be completed by next April despite demolition works running late, the special commissioner for the reconstruction said on Wednesday.

The demolition of the Morandi bridge, which gave way last August sending dozens of vehicles into free-fall, began in February. Italy's populist government has made its reconstruction a priority, promising a new bridge would be inaugurated next year.
