Started in mid-2017 , the project had to meet many technical challenges during its construction in a very urbanized zone . A metal bridge to divert traffic from Boulevard du Larvotto had to be constructed and innovative tools to minimize noise pollution were used . For example , a special electric hydromilling machine was used for the first time in the world , a tool which is four times quieter than a conventional excavator and emits zero pollution . The Testimonio II tower should be ready by 2023 and the Testimonio II-bis tower by the summer of 2024 .
