The Emilia Romagna Region has no doubts aboutA1 motorway the fourth lane is also required between Modena and Piacenza. To give voice to this request, addressed to the transport minister Enrico Giovannini and the CEO of Aspi, Roberto Tomasi was the emilian councilor for mobility and transport Andrea Corsini: “The increase in traffic volumes after the 2008 economic crisis and in these months of post-pandemic recovery has led to a new worsening of congestion, increasing the accident rate and generating numerous situations of inconvenience for users. These problems also reverberated on the surrounding road network, which found itself having to sustain excessive traffic flows to compensate for the many inefficiencies that periodically affect the motorway. “
“It is a situation that the administrators of the local authorities in the area have repeatedly pointed out to us – Corsini continues – and which requires a response. Our territory needs adequate infrastructures and to maintain a good level of service to support the economic recovery, especially in relation to industrial districts that are fundamental for us such as, for example, the biomedical or those linked to the Motor and Food Valley. We must keep the right balance between growth and sustainability, so we will ensure that the works are well compensated from an environmental point of view. And we are working with the territories to increase the iron share in freight transport that cross our region with the simplified logistics area project ”.
The construction of the fourth lane on the Autostrada del Sole was carried out by Aspi only in the Modena-Bologna section, for about 32 km. The concessionaire immediately replied to the regional councilor, underlining that the work is not included in the economic and financial plan but also making itself available to evaluate its realization if the necessary conditions exist. “As regards the request of the councilor Corsini, Autostrade per l’Italia is immediately available to evaluate these requests, in agreement with the Ministry of Infrastructure. This is following the analysis of current traffic data and on the basis of relative growth forecasts for light and heavy mobility, once the traffic volume and the recovery picture of the country have stabilized. “
