The MIT offices led by Matteo Salvini and the Extraordinary Commissioner are working to resolve the issues relating to the A24 and A25 motorway sites in the territories of the Abruzzo and Lazio regions. This is learned from a note from MIT. First result: no increase in tolls. Following the meetings at the Porta Pia department in recent months, we worked tirelessly to ensure concrete responses both to the aspects concerning the safety of the motorway and to the containment of tolls. To allow maintenance delays to be overcome, three calls for tenders were already published on 30 December for the restricted procedure relating to the design and execution of seismic safety works for as many as 15 (fifteen) viaducts located on sections B and C of the ‘Autostrada A24 and A25, divided into three sections, for a total amount based on the tender of approximately 350 million euros.
Fifteen requests for invitations have been received for each of the two larger installments, and twenty-two for the third installment, which are currently being examined on a preliminary basis and the invitation letters will be sent by the end of March.
At the same time, indications were given to Italferr, which performs technical support functions, to prepare the necessary documentation to put a further 30 (thirty) viaducts into tender by the end of this year, with a financial commitment of around 1 billion EUR.
Timings that respect the commitments deriving from the Complementary National Plan. In addition, we are awaiting the purchase from Strada dei Parchi SpA of the preliminary projects relating to an additional viaduct (Colledara), as well as the structural and plant upgrading works inside the Gran Sasso Tunnel, both positively evaluated from a technical and cheap from Italferr.
The works – continues the MIT note – will obviously follow a priority criterion deriving from the intensity of the static and seismic risk technically ascertained both by Strada dei Parchi SpA and by Italferr itself. At the same time, Anas, as current manager, has prepared a significant ordinary maintenance plan, with a much higher expenditure forecast than in the past. All resources deriving from tolls are fully reinvested for the adaptation of the motorway body. As regards tolls, thanks to the commitment of Minister Salvini, an increase in tolls was averted last January, the tariffs for which are unchanged in 2018 and, in the future, the adoption of selective toll revision interventions is being evaluated in the urban area of Rome.
