Another stalemate for the surface metro in Sassari.

The Emiciclo Garibaldi-train station route was inaugurated in 2006, followed three years later by the extension to Santa Maria di Pisa. Lots 3 and 4, which would connect the city center with the suburbs of Sant'Orsola and Li Punti, are still missing. However, the project has long been bogged down in delays, delays, and second thoughts, making the project a mere dream .

In recent days, in the city council, responding to a question from the Brothers of Italy party, both the mayor, Giuseppe Mascia, and the councilor for mobility infrastructure, Massimo Rizzu, provided the latest information on the state of affairs.

The focus is on section 4, the design of which had received an extension from the Ministry of Transport until February 19 of this year to allow for its completion. Palazzo Ducale has had the opportunity to evaluate a variant to the route, conceived by ARST, which would pass through Via Camboni at Li Punti. This solution was deemed too impactful, while the solution on Via Millelire, currently being considered by the Municipality, would not. To proceed on this path, however, approval from Rome is needed, which has yet to be received. "The €55 million in funding," Mascia assures, "will not be wasted." Regarding section 3, the conundrum remains regarding a section that, according to the plans, was supposed to run past the Hotel Management Institute, and for which another option has been put forward. ARST has said "no" due to the incompatibility of the rail. And the light rail system, with its branches, remains a mirage.
