A morning of hell in Cagliari . Work is underway on the construction site to double the tracks in view of the new light rail line. 10 am: as announced in recent days, via Galvani, the Genneruxi district, closes to cars and traffic in viale Marconi (on the side) comes to a halt.
Between those who would like to enter Genneruxi from Quartu and the others who would like to reach the Arginale from Viale Marconi, towards Quartu, there is chaos. Four hundred meters of road, inside the most important traffic junction in Viale Marconi, Via Galvani in fact, trapped in traffic . With the company's workers directing traffic and suggesting alternative roads for those who need to reach Quartu, Selargius, Monserrato, Quartucciu.
«How do I get to Quartu if via Galvani is closed?», the question that recurs among motorists who remain trapped. The inevitable stopper is the traffic light in Viale Marconi under the Median Axis which must regulate the traffic of cars coming from Quartu and those turning left onto the Axis from Cagliari.
The company carrying out the work for Arst did not close Via Galvani in the morning at 8am to avoid creating inconveniences when the students entered school (Foscolo, next door). Many motorists are confused: the signs with directions are there but not everyone reads them correctly. It will take time. And patience. Today is only the first day. The ordinance authorizing the closure of via Galvani is valid until February 19, but the company, reports the construction site manager, hopes to do it in ten days .
