This latest milestone takes Webuild’s overall progress on the lot to 80%. The project, which will improve connectivity along the Ionian coasts of Calabria, Basilicata and Puglia and links the A14 and A2 motorways, is being completed for ANAS (FS Italiane Group).
The double-tube Trebisacce tunnel – one of the most complex and key structures of the mega lot – is being excavated using traditional methods. It is essential for overcoming the hills located inland, and eliminating the urban crossing of the old SS106. By spring, the final two of the tunnel’s four breakthroughs will be completed, marking the end of the excavation phase.
The Third Mega Lot is the main element along the Calabrian section of the Jonica State Road 106. The project includes a 38km dual-carriageway route featuring 14 tunnels (both natural and artificial) for a total of 10km, and 15 viaducts spanning 7km.
The route runs through the provinces of Cosenza, Sibari and Roseto Capo Spulico, crossing the Alto Jonio Cosentino municipalities of Cassano all’Ionio, Francavilla Marittima, Cerchiara di Calabria, Villapiana, Trebisacce, Albidona, Amendolara and Roseto Capo Spulico. It includes four interchanges (Sibari, Cerchiara-Francavilla, Trebisacce and Roseto), ensuring connections with the existing road network, coastal towns and inland areas.
