The objective is the elimination of the level crossing and therefore the level crossing with a real revolution in traffic. In recent days, the works that began ten years ago for the construction of the railway overpass along State Road 388 "Tirso Mandrolisai" have restarted.

The workers, thanks to the closure of the stretch of road for two nights in a row, on April 22nd and 23rd from 10pm to 6am, installed some new beams. The construction site, after years of stopping due to judicial seizures and economic problems, has taken new steps: the workers have laid the enormous beams that will support the deck that crosses the road.

«This is an important intervention - explains the mayor of Simaxis Giacomo Obinu - The supports of the bridge outside the roadway had already been built some time ago, now the workers have set the foundations for the construction of the deck, which will be the next step. Then it will be the turn of the paving, the finishing of the road, the installation of the guard rail and the signs. The work, once completed - the mayor continues - will allow cars to pass over the overpass".

The construction of the work, for a total of 5 million euros, was entrusted by the Italian Railway Network to Salcef spa, which subcontracted to Isam srl of Viterbo and to Opere Geotecniche srl of Cagliari. The ribbon cutting must have already taken place several months ago, exactly last January. But then due to various problems the work was postponed again. The work should be completed by 2024: "Once it is finally ready - concludes the mayor - we will have smoother but above all safer traffic."
