In January the go-ahead could be reached for the executive project for the Gronda di Genova, the highway doubling in the west of the city. Infrastructure minister Paola De Micheli said this after a prefecture summit with mayor Marco Bucci and Liguria president Giovanni Toti. "We have taken stock of the authorization part, because we have completed the cost-benefit analysis. We will send the executive project for approval to the superior council of public works. In January it will be ready for the signature". "The project that was analyzed by the mission unit for cost-benefit analysis is only one," said De Micheli. "All the improvement assessments have received the necessary answers. So there is only one project that is being evaluated with some insights that have been made.
Coincidentally, the assessments have been concluded 15 days ago since I moved. We will soon publish the analysis and then it will be a matter of a few weeks ".
And the mayor Marco Bucci says: "Of course, we expected an ok before Christmas, as announced, but since sometimes I also make small delays, even if they are to be demonstrated and we will see it when the bridge is finished, I can accept "There's a bit of a delay. The good news is that the path goes on and goes on in that direction." For Bucci there is some good news: "First of all there is only one Gronda project and this came out very clear; secondly this project has had a positive evaluation regarding the cost-benefit analysis so yes it will go on with that. We need to make a move to the High Council of Public Works, then if all goes well we go on like this. There is a path traced.
If the Infrastructure Minister Paola De Micheli has not replied to the reporters who asked who will manage the Gronda, thereby bypassing the resolution or otherwise of the contract with Autostrade on network management, the President of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti explained that "the Government counts to have resolved the dispute with Autostrade in one way or another within the next 30 days and therefore also have the implementing body ". "We look forward to knowing - the governor added - who will cover a work that after the Terzo Valico is the largest in Liguria and I would say also in Italy". For Toti "obviously the problem is that of the economic coverage that, if you go out of the hypothesis of the concessionaire, it seems to me complicated to find". "La Gronda is a work expected from citizenship and the business world for 15 years, which I take for granted at this point, I would say that we must instead engage in a race against time: I emphasized to Minister De Micheli that the Gronda he should have started with the famous pre-construction by-pass in January last year and that the executive project has been deposited with the Ministry for a long time and we cannot afford any further waste of time ", added Toti
