Towards a development contract for the internal road network of Sardinia

A new institutional development contract (Cis) will be signed by Sardinia "to implement the Sardinian infrastructure network with the aim of increasing the potential and attractiveness of the island and above all trying to solve the problems of connection with inland areas", underlines the Region.

It will therefore equip itself with a tool that will allow it to be "more welcoming and accessible even in the most internal areas". “Today - explains the governor Christian Solinas - we have one more weapon to attack the infrastructural gap that characterizes our island and which is the cause of lack of development for Sardinia and, indirectly, of youth exodus and depopulation of the territories. We cannot lay the foundations for a new society, more open and modern, without safe connections and efficient access routes that lead from the innermost and marginal areas to the coast and the main road axis and vice versa. The institutional development contract will help us bring to completion that overall project of rebirth of the territories that we started at the beginning of the legislature and which we are continuing, step by step, to nurture with concrete acts and extraordinary measures ".

The CIS - These are tools based on the agreement between the ministry and the Region to accelerate the implementation of strategic projects, functionally connected to each other, to enhance the territories. Infrastructure projects also fall into this area, currently four throughout Italy (one Sardinian): three concern railway works (Messina-Catania-Palermo, Naples-Bari-Lecce-Taranto, Salerno-Reggio Calabria) and one the adaptation of the SS Sassari-Olbia itinerary.

FOR SARDINIA - The Region will present a contract proposal, which includes a development project. "The hope is to have a work proposal by September-October on which to start a fruitful dialogue with the Government. The wide availability shown by Minister Carfagna is a good omen and marks the way to get this tool in place as soon as possible. more ", added the commissioner of public works, Aldo Salaris.
