The Lombardy Region has approved the draft memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Emilia-Romagna Region for the completion of the Tibre (Tirreno-Brennero), the motorway link that will ensure the connection between the A15 Cisa motorway and the A22 Brenner motorway through a section shared with the Cremona-Mantova motorway.
The green light for the agreement was approved by the Regional Council on the proposal of the Councilor for Infrastructure and Public Works, Claudia Maria Terzi.
“The agreement – states councilor Terzi – immediately starts a shared path for the extension of the Tibre in the Lombardy territory, strategic not only for the provinces of Cremona and Mantua but for all of Lombardy and Northern Italy, in particular for the goods. The extension in fact, it will lighten traffic in the towns by overall relieving the burden on ordinary roads, and will include in the route the construction of a new bridge over the Po, strengthening interregional connections”.
“The Tibre – underlines Terzi – is also fundamental for the construction of the Cremona-Mantua motorway: the two routes will in fact have a common stretch of approximately 8.5 kilometers between Calvatone and Marcaria. Without forgetting the decisive role of the motorway connection within the Tirreno-Brenner multimodal corridor and the European TEN-T network”.
“I thank – continues Terzi – the Minister of Infrastructure, Matteo Salvini, for having unblocked the process of a long-awaited and very important work for the infrastructure of the territories of Cremona and Mantua. Lombardy is ready to provide maximum collaboration to achieve the objective.”
The Tibre is a motorway link between the A15 and the A1, on one side, and the A22, on the other, a total of 85 kilometers long, of which 2.35 kilometers are an adaptation of the current route of the A15 motorway, south of the interconnection with the A1 motorway and 82.67 km of new constructionstarting in the Municipality of Fontevivo (PR) and ending in the Municipality of Nogarole Rocca (VR). The motorway link affects the territorial areas of the Regions of Emilia-Romagna (Province of Parma), Lombardy (Province of Cremona and Mantua) and Veneto (Province of Verona), for 17.5 kilometres in Emilia-Romagna, 52 kilometres in Lombardy and 15.5 kilometres in Veneto.
