The town of Massa on Tuscany's northern coast has under planning a 1.6 km tunnel to alleviate heavy traffic which crosses the city centre using the Aurelia national road. The preliminary project has been presented one year ago. Financing is sought for the next stage. The tunnel will start after the bridge crossing the Frigido river, run underneath Carducci street and exit at grade in Viale Repubblica. Visit www.comune.massa.ms.it 14/02.
