On 17/06/2021 another milestone was reached on the Terzo Valico dei Giovi project. This project was commissioned by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) (Gruppo FS Italiane) and had its first breakthrough with the 27 km Valico tunnel. This tunnel will be the longest railway tunnel in Italy. Workers have dug six continuous kilometres of the tunnel, bringing to 67% the total amount of excavation completed for the entire project.  

The breakthrough unites the Fegino work site - located at the southern end of the Valico tunnel - with the Polcevera work site, located further inland but still within the limits of the city of Genoa.
