| Project Detail |
The investment programme concerns the modernisation and upgrade of the highway network operated and managed by ASPI, covering a total length of 2,855 km. In particular, it includes the following works: - Seismic upgrading and structural reinforcement of 40 bridges and viaducts (in line with the EU and national standards post Morandi bridge collapse), including the demolition/reconstruction, reinforcement of deck and substructure as well as renewal of crash barriers on bridges and viaducts in line with the EU Standard EN 1317; - Replacement of crash safety and noise barriers, including more than 66,700 linear metres of safety barriers and the installation of more than 85,000 linear metres of new noise barriers; - Alignment of 87 existing tunnel tubes in terms of structural reinforcement (IRS) and renewal interventions (TRS); - Smart and Intelligent Roads; - Modernisation of ASPIs installation, including works to reduce CO2 emissions (energy-efficiency renovation of buildings, replacement of lighting with LED) and upgrade of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) to optimise traffic flow and safety; - Modernisation of ASPIs IT infrastructure, including the installation of 871 linear kilometres of fiber optic; - Installation of 98 e-vehicle charging stations across ASPIs highway network including at least 2 ultra-fast DC charging units of 300 kW.
Objectives
The main objectives are to safeguard and upgrade the assets, to improve road safety, to reduce pollution, notably noise as well as develop ITS services and electric recharging stations. The project is not expected to lead to any traffic capacity increase. Moreover, it is expected that no material interventions will occur beyond the existing right of way.
