The cycle underpass opens on State Road 16 at Via della Fiera. From today pedestrians and bicycles will be able to pass through the new structure that has just been completed, thus avoiding crossing the main road at the pedestrian traffic lights which are on the north side of the roundabout. The underpass was built with box-like structures for a length of 16.40 metres, with three access ramps, two on the mountain side of the SS16 and one on the sea side, at the height of the roundabout between State Road 16, Via della Fiera and via della Grotta Rossa. Even yesterday the workers were at work dismantling the construction nets and cleaning the area. The pedestrian traffic light will be retired, but not immediately. It will remain in operation for a few more days, then only the underpass will be used to cross the state road. The sea-side cycle path, currently already connected to Via della Fiera, will be definitively finished only after Hera has completed some works related to the sewerage system, which affect a part of the park.
On the road system front, yesterday the commission took stock of the car parks that will be built in the city in the coming years. Councilor Roberta Frisoni spoke of 25 million euros of investments. If the Tripoli car park has been talked about for a long time, as well as the strengthening of parking in the parking lots along the Metromare route, several interventions have also been made in the north – underlined the councilor. “In Torre Pedrera the new Lavatoio rest area was created, in Viserba the car park near the new pedestrian underpass was implemented with 100 spaces”. Returning to the large construction site in Piazza Marvelli starting next week: not far away, in front of Piazzale Kennedy, the rest area will be upgraded with around 80 new spaces. The works have already been financed.
