Nightmare days for those traveling along state highway 195 between Cagliari and Teulada, in both directions . Postponed for months, despite protests from mayors, the construction site to repair the Tecnocasic industrial water main has opened at the Su Spantu roundabout. A statement from ANAS states that the "Sulcitana" highway is closed between km 13.900 and 14.900. The work is expected to be completed by Friday, August 8th.

As noted in the ANAS statement, "traffic will be able to use the new four-lane section of the 'Nuova Sulcitana' state road as an alternative. Signs will be posted on site." In reality, the signage, if any, is not at all clear .

This morning, hundreds of drivers headed straight for the roundabout near the "Sa Cardiga e su Schironi" restaurant, only to find themselves stuck at Su Spantu due to the construction site. The result: drivers had to reverse direction and everyone was stuck trying to get back onto the "Nuova Sulcitana" highway. The chaos becomes a nightmare when accidents occur, a frequent occurrence in recent days, with law enforcement officials tossing responsibilities back and forth over who should be responsible for surveying the road . But if the accidents are "unprecedented," ANAS's management of traffic is embarrassing. Will the Prefecture intervene?

In the height of tourist season, the diversion is causing significant disruption. As Adriano Deidda, a chauffeur-driven car hire company in Pula, explains with outrage, "Yesterday afternoon, some of my clients missed their plane. They swore they'd never return to Sardinia."
