New vehicle bridge in Serra Sant’Abbondio, construction site nearing completion. Commissioner Babini takes stock of the restoration work after the 2022 flood

SERRA SANT’ABBONDIO A Serra Sant’Abbondio, one of the areas most affected by the flood of September 2022, with the launching of the beams in mid-May, the new pre-stressed reinforced concrete vehicle bridge is now a reality. In fact, there are only a few days left for the slab, ramps and delivery of the construction site which will be followed shortly by that of Serra de’ Conti, in the province of Ancona.

The interventions

The bridge over the Cinisco, a tributary of the Cesano, is the first of eleven bridges that the Region, through the sub-commissioner for floods Stefano Babini, has entrusted to the Marche Reclamation Consortium with a timetable that aims to restore traffic for residents forced, from that 15 September, to extend the road by many kilometers to reach essential services. Commissioner Babini defines the design and construction of the bridges as well as in Serra Sant’Abbondio and Serra de’ Conti, in Senigallia, Frontone, and Camerino: «The first signs of a response to the territory, also to the internal and more distant areas. There are 12 bridges entrusted to the Reclamation Consortium as implementing body, including the restoration of the Vallone bridge upstream from Senigallia. The spans will be eliminated, they will be single-span bridges, to allow the water to flow in the best way, also compatible with the widening of the river made. From the timetable, we expect that by the end of the year all the bridges will be accessible.”

Maintenance (urgent)

The maintenance works carried out in extreme urgency on almost 38 kilometers of hydrographic network in the province of Pesaro Urbino and around 66 in that of Ancona also always look towards returning to normality. Thirty interventions with reprofiling and reshaping operations of the ordinary flow section, removal of obstructions and fallen and compromised trees carried out in Pergola, Serra de’ Conti, Arcevia, Frontone, Serra Sant’Abbondio, San Lorenzo in Campo, Senigallia, Sassoferrato, Montecarotto, Poggio San Marcello, Castelplanio, Barbara, Cantiano and Castelleone di Suasa. «In agreement with the engineer Babini and his structure we aimed not only to resolve the problems connected to the flood but also to work with a view to preventing hydrogeological instability in areas that have revealed very strong fragilities», concludes Michele Maiani, president of the Reclamation Consortium.
