The Board of Directors of Autostrade Siciliane has formalized the dedication of the Ritiro viaduct (reopened entirely to traffic in summer 2024) to Salvatore Ada, the 55-year-old worker and union representative who lost his life on 12 October 2021 on the construction site of the work. Salvatore Ada, a specialized worker at Toto Costruzioni, was the victim of a tragic accident during the loading operations of a concrete barrier as part of the static adaptation and seismic improvement works of the structure.

A short and sober ceremony will take place on a future date to be defined, with the intervention of the Regional Councilor for Infrastructure, family members, trade unions and the city’s civil and military institutions, and the placing of a plaque in memory of the tragic event on the façade of the headquarters of the Sicilian Autostrade Consortium.
