BOLZANO. Cna Alto Adige intervenes on traffic in Bolzano: “the economic world cannot wait 30 years. It is not acceptable that in twenty years ring roads have been built in every valley of the province, but not in Bolzano, which pays the price more than other areas price of the attractiveness of our territory, benefiting less in terms of economic impact”, so Cna reiterates the request for a variation to SS 12. Regarding the publication of the tender notice for the concession of the A22 il president of Cna Claudio Corrarati he added: “the attention to the territories is good, but there is a lack of vision for the capital city which cannot wait for the pharaonic work of undergrounding the motorway. We need the variant. It was 2011 and the project for the variant to state road 12 was starting to take shape – recalls Cna – but 14 years have passed, the project has remained in the drawer due to political will and what emerges in these first days of 2025 is that the capital city, its economy and its citizens will have to wait decades to see a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel, just to stay on topic, of suffocating traffic”.
“The project set up by the Provinces of Trento and Bolzano for the fifty-year concession of the A22 provides many positive implications for the territories, particularly in terms of innovation and sustainability. As far as Bolzano is concerned, however – says Corrarati – the focus is on undergrounding of the A22. A work that reminds us a lot of that of the railway area: pharaonic, complicated, expensive and above all takes a very long time, decades that our city and our economy cannot If a new political table is needed to speed up decisions, so be it. “We need to decide quickly – concludes President Corrarati – to restore oxygen to the many companies in the valley bottom that every day have to budget for the costs of time lost in endless queues and funnels and finally give an answer to the people of Bolzano who after years have the right to live in a city with sustainable roads”.
