Casalecchio A14 toll booth closed for another month. Then, in time for the August exodus, everything will return to normal, after almost a year of intense work to modernize a bridge on the Bologna-Casalecchio station junction, which involved the demolition and reconstruction of the underpass, in which some static problems had been reported. The Bologna-Casalecchio toll booth was closed on July 27, 2023.
“It will remain closed until the morning of Wednesday 31 July 2024, continuously: on entry for those heading towards Ancona/Padova; on exit for those coming from Ancona/Padova”, specifies a note from Autostrade per l’Italia, which is quick to reassure motorists. “On the Casalecchio junction, – adds the note – the work schedule has been remodeled with a single objective: to allow the final phase of the operations envisaged in the modernization plan of the junction bridge as soon as possible”.
In the meantime, on the hot days of July, how will traffic change at this toll booth on the A14 near Casalecchio, which in the past months had closed the exit to vehicles coming from Ancona and Padua? “Alternatively – Autostrade per l’Italia recommends – those coming from Ancona and heading to Casalecchio can use the Bologna Fiera station, at km 15+500 of the A14 Bologna-Taranto, or the Bologna Arcoveggio station, at km 0+600 of the A13 Bologna-Padova and take the ring road towards Milan.
To better manage the road system, the Bologna Section Management of Autostrade per l’Italia has planned, for the period of the construction site opening, an enhancement of the construction site signage assistance service and dedicated messages on the LED displays, the mega panels on which variable messages appear, both on the Bologna ring road and on the A14 Bologna-Taranto”. And constant updates on the traffic situation and alternative routes will be broadcast on the radio waves of various stations, as well as on the Muovy app and on the motorway website. it.
