Cagliari, many construction sites and few workers: «Rewards for those who finish early»
The Municipality encourages businesses, exemptions for working on Saturdays. And meanwhile the city is choked between wire mesh and revolutionized one-way streetsRock construction sites mixed with slow construction sites, to quote the words of an old catchphrase by Adriano Celentano.
In Cagliari there are those of the Municipality, via Roma, above all, then viale Trieste (which will close after Easter), via Dante and viale Buoncammino; then the others from Arst for the subway, in piazza Repubblica, in viale Diaz, in via Dante and in viale Cimitero. In the background a city inevitably choked between wire mesh, new roads, revolutionized one-way streets. Translated: haywire traffic during peak hours.
Yesterday morning, between 9.30 and 11.30, going around the main construction sites of the city, 7 workers in via Roma-portico side were closing the last meters of the area in view of the first excavations scheduled already before Easter , 2 in viale Trieste they began to set up the delimitation nets, 14 they went up and down viale Buoncammino . Five men were engaged in the redevelopment works of via Dante, 4 for the construction of the metro in piazza Repubblica, 3 in piazza Madre Teresa di Calcutta but not even one is in the construction site in the section in front of the Ossigeno than in the one in viale Diaz, which has now been stopped for some time due to bureaucratic obstacles .
The Municipality ensures that "the construction sites that have already started", such as via Dante and Buoncammino, "are going ahead according to the time schedule", explains the commissioner for traffic Alessio Mereu. While «for those that have just begun or are about to be opened», via Roma and viale Trieste therefore, « production bonuses are envisaged for those who finish the work earlier . Not only that», adds the commissioner, «we are also preparing requests for exceptions to be able to work, when it is necessary for the company, even on Saturdays ».
