Nearly six years since the project began, the stagnation continues to worry residents, forced to contend with poor lighting and dangerous traffic conditions every day. Protests are growing in Capoterra over the failure to complete the hydraulic upgrades on the San Girolamo and Masone Ollastu streams along State Road 195. To demand a proper resumption of work, the SS.195 Safe Bridges Committee has organized a sit-in to raise awareness. The sit-in is scheduled for Saturday, November 14th, at 9:30 a.m., at the Su Loi roundabout , near the Masone Ollastu construction site.
The initiative stems from concerns about the condition of the two waterways and the risks associated with unfinished work , especially with the arrival of autumn and winter rains. But the situation with alternative routes, which have created inconvenience and safety issues over the years, also impacts residents' daily lives.
Massimo Gentile, one of the initiative's promoters, clarified the spirit of the mobilization: "This is not a protest against the institutions, but a peaceful civic action to solicit concrete responses and commitments from those involved in the project's construction." The meeting was attended by the regional president, the regional councilors for Public Works and the Environment and Civil Protection, the president of the Metropolitan City of Cagliari, representatives of Anas, the mayor of Capoterra with the municipal councilor for Public Works, and the contractor, CMC of Ravenna. "We simply want to be heard. The lack of necessary interventions jeopardizes the hydrogeological safety of the area and continues to penalize the daily mobility of residents, particularly those who previously commuted by bicycle or on foot."
Giacomo Mallus, also one of the initiators of the sit-in, agreed: "For six years, it's been impossible to walk to Su Loi from Frutti d'Oro. The bypass road built to bypass the construction site is dark and dangerous, and the risk of head-on collisions is a daily occurrence. We hope someone will listen to us and understand our inconvenience."
