Railway infrastructure works in Corigliano-Rossano

Overview

Local officials and institutions in Corigliano-Rossano and the Calabria region are addressing disruptions caused by railway modernization projects. To mitigate traffic issues resulting from the closure of the SP173 provincial road for bridge reconstruction, the Mayor and Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) agreed to temporarily reopen the old Thurio level crossing during scheduled train suspensions.

However, tensions have risen regarding the planned closure of the Paola–Castiglione Cosentino railway line for works on the Santomarco tunnel, scheduled from December 13, 2026, to January 27, 2027. Local leaders, including Mayor Flavio Stasi and the Democratic Party, have protested the timing of these works, noting they coincide with the Christmas holiday period. The Democratic Party has petitioned the Transport Regulation Authority (ART) to protect passenger rights and has requested that RFI provide technical justifications for why the works cannot be postponed until after the holidays.
