Overview

Following demands from unions for urgent safety upgrades on the Litoranea Salentina road in Taranto, safety works have commenced on a section of the SP27 La Tarantina road. This route, which connects the Puglia and Basilicata regions, has been identified as having a high accident rate.

Metropolitan Councilor Antonio Stragapede confirmed that operations are underway to secure the stretch of road near the junction for Matera and the SS96. Furthermore, the expropriation process necessary to widen the provincial road has begun, with major construction projects expected to start in the summer of next year.
