Olbia. They ask that all the municipal councils meet in a joint session «to demand that the reconstruction work on the Monte Pino be concluded.” And also a meeting with the regional councilor for public works Antonio Piu to understand what the current situation is and know the program of the new council Todde «to improve the road system of Gallura». Future left Gallura And Democratic Party of Tempio Pausania, rekindle attention on the endless construction site of Monte Pino. They do so when the termination of the contract by the employer seems imminent and inevitable.Anas to the companyItalian construction – which had already taken over from IMP Construction of Carloforte, ousted at the end of 2018 – which is very slowly carrying out the reconstruction work on the road that collapsed in the 2013 flood.
«The previous regional administration tried to reassure citizens, claiming that “in the last twelve months significant steps have been taken towards completion”. However, it is clear – they say – that the company in charge of the work is chronically late and appears to be afflicted by financial difficulties. Vehicles are often left idle due to neglected breakdowns, supplies of material are scarce and workers are diverted elsewhere. The complaints regarding the slowness of work have followed one another over time, without confirmation. The company seems to ignore the established times and the situation has become critical. While there has been no shortage of promises from some politicians, so far there has been no real will to resolve the problem.”
Sinistra futuro and PD Tempiese point out the presence of a sign on the road with the writing “Vote for Monte Pino”. «Placed with provocative cunning before the regional elections – they say – the sign remains erected as a warning and as a monument to local disillusionment». And then there’s the Diana bridge, another problem, now closed for years. «In both cases, the restoration works lie inert, forcing the citizens of Gallura to take alternative, tortuous and dangerous roads – they point out -. For the area, the situation is further aggravated by the decline of the hospital Paolo Dettori, of Tempio Pausania. Significant medical emergencies – add Sinistra Futura Gallura and the Democratic Party – must be transported to the hospitals in Olbia, which are distant and difficult to reach”.
Returning to the unfinished Monte Pino, a new – yet another – stalemate in the works under Anas’ responsibility now seems inevitable. If we were to proceed with the termination of the contract, Anas (a technical-legal commission will decide on the termination of the contract) will have to proceed to identify a new company that can complete the work. A story we’ve already seen, in short. With regards to the interventions within the competence of the Province of Sassari, a homogeneous area of Olbia-Tempio, the design phase is about to be concluded. There will then be a tender for the awarding of the works. But the Provincial construction site will not be able to open until the works that Anas must carry out are completed. The wait still seems long.
