A recent inspection of the Ciclovia took place, with the presence of the mayor, councilors, and municipal councilors, along with the president of the Province and the extraordinary commissioner for the project. During the inspection, the technical details of the project were explained, focusing on the different construction phases of the existing and new tunnels.
One of the innovations concerns the creation of a section for the passage of emergency vehicles and the external masking of the structure, which will blend in with the color of the surrounding rocks. Furthermore, both the existing and new tunnels will be adorned with artistic decorations designed by architect Ferrari.
The current situation of the Ciclovia on the Trentino side is as follows:
– Functional Unit 1.2: Ponale Underpass-Orione Gallery. The total cost of the works is 9.6 million euros, with completion scheduled for July 2025.
