Until Friday. Five days of partial closure of the A20 motorway, in the stretch between Rometta and Milazzo, which will certainly be a serious test bench for the nervous estate of motorists and those who live in the nine municipalities that will be invaded by an anomalous traffic. When thousands of light, but also heavy vehicles must pass through a state road that cuts in two countries grown around this road axis, the inconveniences are not a hypothesis but a certainty.
From one of Monday it is not possible to use the motorway between Rometta and Milazzo only towards Palermo. The closure, according to the latest update of the Autostrade Consortium, should last four days and more precisely until 20 on Thursday. So a few hours of break and then from one on Friday and until 24 on the same day, the closure will concern the opposite direction and then between Milazzo and Rome.
The reason for such a prolonged closure is linked to the reconstruction of the number 3 overpass that passes on the highway near Spadafora and leading from the area of the state road to the hamlet of San Martino. It is one of the 20 racing seized by the Barcelona prosecutor’s office a few years ago and which, for structural reasons, was demolished and is now about to be reconstructed. A crane, whose components will be mounted in the first two days of the closure, will vine the 80 meters of the new bridge in a dozen hours. To transfer the load 18 heavy vehicles with exceptional transport for the anomalous width.
The traffic load from thousands of vehicles per day will end everything on the highway 113 which in some places, as pointed out at the prefectural table last Friday, is particularly narrow. The cross between two large means or even the many buses that connect the whole Tyrrhenian territory with the capital, can be a source of serious slowdowns especially in the area shortly after Rome and up to Torregrotta where the trafficking of those who come from the highway must be Add the always full -bodied local one. The top times, early in the morning, the lunch band and then the late afternoon the most critical moments those for which the traffic committee has always been asked for a surplus of attention by the police to avoid all kinds of obstruction (just a risky parking) that blocks all the flow.
Many commuters used to moving by bus or with the car for this week have reorganized with the train. Also because the scheduled buses can have more dilated travel times because of the large number of means that will lay on those 18 km of state road. Logistic support can be the possibility of using the Irsap road that leads from Valdina to Archi as an alternative, a few meters from the Milazzo junction. The heavy vehicles above all should be diverted on this road, a little battered, dark in many places, but wide.
The situation on Monday morning
There are no particular queues on the highway 113 between Giammoro and Scala Torregrotta. Only in the morning, due to buses and school entrances, there was some slowdown but physiological. It is clear that the heavy vehicles in circulation are several. The urban police who are monitoring the situation has been present this morning
