22 August 2019The clash between the Lega and the 5-star Movement on major works returns. MIT has published on its website the cost benefit analyzes and the legal analysis relating to the West Bank and interconnection A7-A10-A12.

"The result of the evaluations conducted suggests - we read - to seize the opportunity to pursue more efficient infrastructural options in terms of transport, environmental and financial, which the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport hopes, starting from the study carried out, to be deepened and identified through a comparison with the territorial institutional levels ".

The ministry recalls how the cost-benefit analysis concerned not only the original project, but also some alternative solutions aimed at strengthening the Genoa road junction. The current project envisages a total cost of 4.7 billion for 120 months of construction. The League raises criticisms of Minister Toninelli. And it has a document in which the works blocked by the ministry are listed in black and white, entitled: "Genoa Law: Ansfisa constitution block, the public company for the safety of road, motorway and railway infrastructures".

"La Gronda will be done and thanks to the preliminary work of MIT it will be carried out in the terms in which it is really useful in Genoa and to all Italian citizens", assures Danilo Toninelli, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, in a note.

Any type of modification of the Gronda project "would restart the design and authorization process from scratch", causing "a delay of 6-10 years in the realization of the work, determining the risk of finally burying it", says Autostrade per l'Italia, supporting that the cost-benefit analysis of MIT is based on "clearly incorrect data and proposes unfeasible alternatives". "In any case - Aspi emphasizes - the suggestions on the ground made by thousands of Genoese citizens in the context of public debate, the first experiment of its kind in Italy, with respect to abstruse options studied at a table in Rome are to be considered much more relevant and valuable" .
