Tilt traffic in viale Colombo and in viale Diaz in Cagliari due to the bottlenecks created by the construction sites for the metro. In Viale Colombo, between the Alberti and the Nautico you walk in a single lane for both directions, with consequent columns of cars slowed down by the pedestrian traffic light in front of the entrance to the high school. Slowdowns and inconveniences also in Viale Cimitero , at the oxygen traffic light.
Motorists, business owners and workers are angry: the parking lot in Piazza dei Centomila "is often impractical," explains Francesca Simbula, an employee. “We are forced to do the stunts in traffic. They removed all the parking spaces in front of the work activities, then also the pedestrian traffic light (restored a few days ago) which created very serious inconvenience to go to park in Bonaria. Car parks that are not regulated by stripes with additional inconvenience at entry and exit, because everyone parks where they happen to be. In addition, there is a market on Thursdays, so we are forced to wander around to find a free parking space. We made complaints about complaints, in vain ”.
And when the car park is found, the problem of pedestrian transit in front of the construction site is added: despite the sign indicating the direction to go: "Here - continues Francesca Simbula - it is dangerous to walk through the construction site facing the Mediterranean where there is no it is the protected pedestrian crossing, despite the sign indicating pedestrians on the left, ”he explains. Even the newsagent of the square, Giuseppe Conti , is desperate: “Without parking I can no longer work. The volume of work fell by at least 60 percent. I'm desperate, ”he says.
“The problem of the slowdown in the works is represented by the discovery of some archaeological artefacts and by unknown pipelines. This is the real problem. The investigations of the Superintendency slowed down the work, otherwise - explains Alessio Mereu, councilor for traffic of the Municipality of Cagliari - the viale Diaz pipeline would have already been laid, buried and the double lane would have been restored. Unfortunately this will be possible, I presume and hope, barring unforeseen events, by the end of October ".
From via Cesare Battisti, seat of the Archaeological Superintendency , they let it be known that there is no stop: “There is no block of the building sites in Viale Diaz. We have checks in progress at the Piazza Matteotti station, where some artifacts we are investigating have been found. Moreover, in agreement with the Municipality, Arst and the companies - explains the archaeologist Sabrina Cisci, head of the Superintendency for the Cagliari area - precisely to limit the inconvenience to citizens as much as possible, we have chosen the path of surveillance in progress. work of all construction sites with ongoing checks. Our archaeologists document everything with precision and speed precisely in order not to stop construction sites and create further inconvenience to road traffic ".
"There is an old conduct that Abbanoa is dealing with", clarify from the ARST, a problem that will be solved within a few weeks. And by the end of October, as soon as the crossing of the spillway towards Su Siccu is completed in Viale Colombo, traffic in the respective lanes will also be restored.
In short, another month of discomfort: “We are only asking users for a little more patience”, concludes Mereu , inviting motorists “to search for alternative routes to avoid an overload of traffic during peak hours”.
