SS36 roadworks cause prolonged delays near Lake Como

Commuters and local businesses along the SS36 highway between Lecco and Colico near Lake Como are facing prolonged disruptions due to ongoing construction projects. For over three years, the stretch of road has been characterized by narrowed lanes, diversions, and significant traffic congestion, impacting workers, families, and transport companies.

While the necessity of the work is acknowledged to address aging infrastructure and tunnel safety, users have raised concerns regarding the lack of visible progress. Reports indicate that despite the heavy restrictions, there is often minimal activity from workers or machinery during daylight hours. The Monte Piazzo tunnel has been identified as a primary site of frustration, where limited personnel are observed despite the project's scale.

Local citizens are calling on ANAS and regional authorities to provide transparency regarding the progress of the works, the reasons for the extended timelines, and the oversight of existing contracts.
