Three nights of works and changes to traffic on the A2 motorway, at the Reggio Calabria Gallico junction. To allow scheduled maintenance work to be carried out, traffic restrictions will be introduced on the nights of 12, 13 and 16 November, with closures affecting the access and exit ramps and, in some cases, the entire junction.
In detail, the first closure will start at 9pm on Thursday 12 November and will continue until 6am on Friday 13. In this time slot the Gallico junction will be completely closed to traffic, including all the entrance and exit ramps of the North and South carriageways, the internal roads and the slip road connecting with State Road 18.
The subsequent limitations will instead affect the nights between 13 and 14 November and between 16 and 17 November, always in the time slot between 9pm and 6am. On these occasions, only the entrance and exit ramps of the Northern carriageway will be closed, together with the related connecting slip road, while those of the Southern carriageway will remain regularly passable.
The expected deviations
Alternative routes will be provided for motorists. During the total closure of the junction, those traveling along the A2 in a northerly direction, towards Villa San Giovanni, will have to exit at Arghillà-Catona and continue on ordinary traffic via the SS 18, towards Gallico and Reggio Calabria. Heavy vehicles heading north will instead have to use the Villa San Giovanni exit.
For those traveling on the southern carriageway, towards Reggio Calabria, the obligatory exit will be that of Reggio Calabria Porto, from where it will be possible to continue through the urban roads and the SS 18 towards Gallico. Also for those who have to enter the motorway from Gallico, both towards the North and towards the South, it will be necessary to use the Reggio Calabria Porto junction.
On the other two nights, when only the ramps on the northern carriageway will be closed, motorists heading towards Villa San Giovanni will be able to enter the A2 from the Reggio Calabria Porto junction. Those arriving from the South and having to reach Gallico will be required to exit at Reggio Calabria Porto and continue along the SS 18 in the direction of the Reggina hamlet.
The interventions are part of the maintenance program of the motorway network and will lead to temporary changes to traffic, especially at night. Motorists are advised to pay attention to the signs along the routes and plan their journeys taking deviations into account.
