Italian provinces announce road maintenance and safety projects

Provincial authorities in Italy are advancing several road maintenance and safety initiatives to improve infrastructure and mitigate damage caused by adverse weather.

In the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani (BAT), President Bernardo Lodispoto met with local mayors to discuss ongoing and planned works. Key projects include the completion of provincial road 2, valued at 10.5 million euros, and a 27.5 million euro project to requalify and secure provincial road 3. This latter project aims to harmonize provincial traffic with municipal roads and the new hospital in Andria. Additionally, eight ministerial-funded lots, each worth approximately 740,000 euros, are being implemented on various routes, including the Andria-Bisceglie road.

In the province of Cosenza, President Biagio Faragalli reported accelerated works to address infrastructure issues. Completed projects include bridge restoration on SP 81 in Mendicino and paving on SP 90 in Rende. Ongoing efforts include bitumen work on SP 177 in San Demetrio Corone and geological testing on SP 120 in Altomonte to determine necessary technical interventions. The province is also utilizing its own resources to expedite repairs and ensure road safety following recent winter weather damage.
