Maiori Council to Vote on ANAS Tunnel Project Amid Opposition
The municipal council of Maiori will convene on 30 July 2026 to consider a political‑administrative directive on the ANAS NA286 tunnel variant of state road SS163 between Minori and Maiori at Torre Mezzacapo. The agenda includes a formal expression of opposition to the tunnel, calls for protecting the Grotta dell’Annunziata and the karst system, a request for full acquisition of project documents, and the promotion of safer, sustainable mobility alternatives.
The local committee “Tuteliamo la Costiera Amalfitana” welcomed the inclusion of the tunnel debate in the council’s agenda and urged a unified vote that balances landscape preservation with mobility safety. The outcome will affect regional infrastructure planning, environmental safeguards, and the involvement of ANAS, the Campania region, and the Ministry of Infrastructure.
