The Stretto di Messina company, as part of the ongoing environmental impact assessment procedure, in agreement with the General Contractor Eurolink, deemed it appropriate to request the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security – MASE, pursuant to current legislation ( Legislative Decree 163/2006) a 120-day suspension of the deadlines for submitting the requested supplementary documentation which, with the new deadlines, will be delivered by mid-September 2024.
“The decision – explains the CEO of the Stretto di Messina, Pietro Ciucci – is motivated by the exceptional relevance of the work and reflects the will and maximum commitment of the Company in providing timely and exhaustive responses to requests for additions and clarifications on the technical documents of the definitive project of the bridge over the Strait of Messina, presented by the VIA and SEA Commission of MASE. Some in-depth studies involve field investigations, such as further terrestrial, bathymetric and underwater faunal surveys, to which the Company intends to dedicate the utmost attention, making full use of the time allowed by the legislation”.
