Chienes Ring Road lengthened

18/05/2016

The Bolzano provincial council approved project variations for the Chienes ring road. The road length will increase from the initially planned 2 km to 2.7 km, extending westward, in the direction of Brunico. This will be in order to improve access to the industrial area. The city council wants to offset the higher costs related to the extension of the open air section so the access tunnel has been moved 240 m to the north. The tunnel will be 950 m long, because its shorter than this means there will be a reduction in the installation and maintenance costs.

The total cost will be equal to 53 million Euro. The tender for the allocation of work should be completed by 2018, and the opening of the shipyard is planned for the following year. The contract for the design and coordination of security for construction of the Chienes ring road (21.8 km – 23.68km ) on the Val Pusteria SS 49 was awarded to Eng. Sebastiano Pelizza with Eng. Lucio Bertotti, Eng. Marco Puccinelli, Studio Georisk, Eng. Adriano Fragiacomo, Stain Engineering, Eng. Nicola Avagnina at Turin in 2011 for a total amount of EUR690,187, excluding VAT.
