Plans in Italy call for the construction of a new 15km road link in the northern Emilia Romagna region of the country. The project is expected to cost some €506 million, with around €215 million to be provided by public sources.


The road link will feature two lanes in either direction and the project will include two tunnels, five junctions and eight viaducts. Once the new link is operating it will cut congestion and journey times at peak periods. The new road link will be managed under a 31-year concession package that includes the four year construction programme by AutoCS, a firm formed jointly between Autobrennero, CoopSette and Pizzarotti.
