en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Piedmont foothill infrastructure construction project will officially commence on July 6, as confirmed by the Italian National Road Authority (Anas) during a recent committee meeting. The strategic session brought together road authority technicians, representatives of relevant local governments, Piedmont Region President Alberto Cirio, and Infrastructure Commissioner Enrico Bussalino.
The total economic value of the project is approximately €384 million, with plans to build a new highway trunk line spanning about 15 kilometers, featuring significant engineering complexity in both technical and design aspects. The geometric design of the new route aims to directly connect Provincial Road Sp142 Var with the A26 Genoa Voltri-Gravellona Toce motorway, thereby optimizing traffic flow. This layout will complete the connection between the Turin-Milan A4 motorway and the A26 motorway, specifically between Masserano and Ghemme.
The horizontal alignment of the infrastructure will directly impact the three provinces of Biella, Vercelli, and Novara, serving as a highway hub to improve logistics and passenger connectivity in the region. The main line will be supported by four major interchanges, with these transfer and entry nodes strategically located within the municipal areas of Masserano, Roasio, Gattinara, and Ghemme, ensuring broad penetration of vehicle traffic and better accessibility for businesses and residential communities.
Recently, the project's approval process achieved key progress in regulatory and landscape protection aspects. The Italian Ministry of Culture (Ministero della Cultura) has expressed approval for the design variant of the Masserano-Ghemme section connecting the A4 and A26 motorways. This clearance has ultimately removed construction obstacles, allowing the infrastructure project—aimed at enhancing the industrial and logistics competitiveness of the entire northeastern quadrant of the Piedmont region—to begin construction.
