Infrastructure and maintenance projects continue across various Italian regions, focusing on transportation, safety, and historical restoration.

In Livorno, the 158-meter bridge over the Scolmatore canal on the SS1 Aurelia has officially reopened to traffic. The project, completed by Anas, involved a 6-million-euro seismic upgrade and functional adaptation to improve the steel-concrete structure’s static and dynamic performance.

Structural maintenance and restoration efforts remain a priority. In Tuscany, work continues at the Rocca di San Silvestro to reopen medieval paths, while a 240-day structural recovery project is underway for the Oreto Bridge in Palermo. In Santa Marinella, maintenance on the Via Aurelia Vecchia bridge is expected to cause total road closures from November 2026 to January 2027. Additionally, bridge safety repairs are being addressed in Ostellato following issues with concrete detachment.

Other regional activities include electrical grid upgrades in Mantova, drainage cleaning in Benevento, and the final recovery phases of an old asylum in Pesaro. Local authorities in various historic centers are also adjusting traffic zones to support commercial activity.
