New Castelnuovo bridge: testing for opening – Teramo

CASTELLALTO. It stands out on Vomano with a skyline that merges with the sky. On Wednesday the Castelnuovo bridge, at the end of a twenty-year history, received the definitive approval for the static test from professor Ezio Sivieroengineer, university professor among the leading experts in this type of structure, who supported the provincial administration in the revision of the initial infrastructure project. The bridge, which was built along the route of provincial road 23 – in the area between the municipalities of Castellalto and Cellino Attanasio – will constitute one of the main connecting axes of the area once the access ramps for which the administration led by the president Camillo D’Angelo it involved taking out a mortgage of over three and a half million euros.
The construction of the cycle path, next to the roadway, will instead be the subject of a subsequent functional lot of the planned intervention, as will the access ramps. The old structure will also be subjected to redevelopment and consolidation works, thanks to a loan that was made available through the so-called “bridges decree”. The infrastructure existing before the one recently built will be adapted and made safe also with the reconstruction of the barriers and will be passable in one way.
«It changes the face and substance of the valley, the bridge in this case is not only a finely crafted artefact perfectly integrated into the landscape, but is destined to significantly improve the dynamics of this territory which on the one hand enjoys the presence of villages and agricultural areas and on the other you see one of the most important industrial areas of the province and of Abruzzo”, underlines D’Angelo who was on site on Wednesday with the company and the testers for the auspicious crossing, “with the bridge the traffic will flow heavy for the benefit of the environment and residents and decisively meets the needs of companies to have a connection network that keeps up with the times. The old bridge also remains, a historical memory and protected artefact: I will follow with particular care the administrative procedure to close and complete both works”. (red.te)
