| USA: TX Active® shapes the gateway of the reopened Minneapolis’ bridge | At dawn of Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008, the new I-35W Bridge over the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis was officially opened.Italcementi Group, through its North American subsidiary Essroc, made its contribution to the project for the construction of two white concrete gateway elements, made with TX Active®, standing on both ends of the bridge. The two 30-foot tall gleaming white concrete sculptures, that comprise three wavy columns representing a vertical interpretation of the universal symbol for water, stand on both sides as a ‘gateway’ to greet travelers on the new Interstate 35 west bridge. These symbols serve as a reminder of the previous bridge which tragically collapsed in August 2007.
