The Symbol of the Olympic Games of Turin 2006

During the night between Saturday 24th and Sunday the 25th, an imposing arch- walkway was raised over the railway lines in the Lingotto area; connecting the Olympic Village of Turin to the Lingottos Direction Centre. A very important operation for Turin, as it will unite two divided parts of the city. Workmen worked with electricity the whole day to raise the bridge. The railway traffic of the Lingotto lines was interrupted from 9.15 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. Sunday. At 11 o'clock Sunday morning two enormous cranes, brought in during the summer from Belgium, began the positioning operation of the Olympic arch.
