The bad weather also caused traffic in Monza to go haywire. But not only. The rain that has been falling relentlessly on the province of Monza and Brianza since the early hours of today, Wednesday 15 May, is creating serious traffic disruptions.
Cars blocked in via Aliprandi and nearby streets. Since 3.20pm the Municipality of Monza and the Civil Protection have been progressively closing the bridges over the Lambro in the city as a precaution. The viale Cavriga bridges (inside the Park, on the Porta Monza-Villasanta route) and the via Montesanto-viale delle Industrie bridges remain open to guarantee circulation (east-west crossings). For now, those in via Boccaccio and via D’Azeglio also remain open to traffic. When the bridges are closed, flood barriers will be installed.
Inconveniences also on the motorway. “Shortly before 3.30pm, on the A4 Milan-Brescia the section between the junction with the A35 and Cavenago Brianza towards Milan was temporarily closed as a precautionary measure” due to the flooding affecting the areas adjacent to the motorway and starting to also affect part of the road surface at km 155 between Trezzo sull’Adda and Cavenago – we read in the official note from Anas -. Traffic Police patrols and staff from the Milan 2nd Section Directorate of Autostrade per l’Italia were on site. Users coming from Brescia and heading towards Milan or Turin are advised, after the mandatory entry onto the A35, to take the external A58 Tangenziale Est via which to head towards Milan or towards the A4 to take it back towards Turin”.
