Rolling tanks, expansion tanks, new bridges, maintenance. In the Marche region, and in particular in Senigallia and Valmisa, 34 works and two services are underway for 130 million in spending to mitigate the flood risk after the 2022 flood risk. The planning of some of these works has already started. From the total sum, 113 million are financed with flood funds and 17 million with funds from the Ministry of the Environment. Illustrating the plan was the commissioner and president of the Region Francesco Acquaroli, underlining “the importance of the phase that is opening because after a year and eight months an extraordinary plan for structural and infrastructural works has been approved”, for the mitigation of risk and the extraordinary maintenance and hydraulic arrangement of the Misa, Nevola and Cesano rivers, and of all the areas that were affected by the events of September 2022. The main reassurance is that the Region “will continue to work in this direction because the security of the territory is a of priorities in a region where hydrogeological instability risks being a problem for the safety of the territory and the citizens who live there”.
As far as Misa is concerned, it is hoped that the knowledge framework will be updated by the summer in order to concentrate immediately afterwards on the identification of interventions.
Moving on to the interventions, those that have an impact on the hydraulic structure of the affected territories count among others: the completion of the second section for the expansion tanks on the Misa river in the Bettolelle-Senigallia locality for 975 thousand euros, the expansion tank on the Misa in the locality Pancaldo in Ostra Vetere (4 million), the one on the Nevola in the locality of Ponte Lucerta in the municipalities of Corinaldo and Trecastelli (3.7 million).
And again, the arrangement of the ‘2 June’ bridge in Senigallia (550 thousand euros), the lamination tank in the “civico 105” area near the town of Senigallia in the Cannella Case Pergolesi area including the “borgo Catena-Senigallia” area (9.5 million), the Marazzana area lamination tank – expansion of the Bettolelle-Senigallia tank (12 million), the extraordinary maintenance and hydraulic arrangement of the Misa river (3.8 million), the experimental flood warning system for the Misa Nevola basin for various municipalities (60,000 euro), the demolition and reconstruction of the Bettolelle bridge over the Misa in Senigallia and raising of road junction levels (3 million).
Also on the long list: demolition and reconstruction of the Misa SP 360 Arceviese bridge in the Pianello di Ostra hamlet and restoration of the hydraulic efficiency of the Misa upstream and downstream of the new Ostra crossing (2.8 million), the demolition and reconstruction of the Via delle Selve bridge over the Misa in the Casine area of the Municipality of Ostra and restoration of the hydraulic functionality of the Misa River upstream and downstream of the new crossing (2.3 million). Demolition and reconstruction of the SP 12 Corinaldese bridge over the Nevola River in Passo Ripe of the Municipality of Trecastelli and restoration of the hydraulic functionality of the Nevola River upstream and downstream of the new Passo Ripe 1 – Trecastelli crossing 2.8 million. Demolition and reconstruction of the SP 12 Corinaldese bridge over the Nevola stream in the Passo Ripe area of the Municipality of Trecastelli and restoration of the hydraulic efficiency of the Nevola stream upstream and downstream of the new Passo Ripe 3 – Trecastelli crossing for 2.8 million. Demolition and reconstruction of the Via G Matteotti Bridge over the Nevola River in the Municipality of Trecastelli (2 million), demolition and reconstruction of the Sant’Antonio Bridge over the Misa River in the Municipality of Serra De Conti (2.5 million). Demolition and reconstruction of the San Domenico bridge over the Nevola river in the Municipality of Corinaldo (2.3 million). Hydraulic arrangement of the Nevola river (2.9 million), hydraulic arrangement of the Cesano-Pergola (6 million), expansion tank in the Zipa area on the Nevola-Ostra (8.2 million), replacement of the road underpass built with box with new permeable viaduct in the Ostra industrial area (6 million).
Also planned is the study for the protection of the Borgo Mulino district in Senigallia for 150 thousand euros and finally rockfall barriers to protect the road network near the Frasassi Genga Caves for 1.5 million.
“While waterways have been made safe with works never carried out before – comments Acquaroli – the works that will be implemented do not concern simple safety, but must be able to contain any similar problems in the future as well. intention of the Region to carry out works that give a certain answer to those territories which unfortunately have never had certainties in recent decades”.
