Traffic on the Consortile highway is paralyzed, with queues stretching for miles and drivers stuck in traffic for hours : this is the situation this morning following the fury of the bad weather in the last few hours.
"The situation developing along the consortium road towards Seminese and Sestu is unacceptable," said Capoterra Mayor Beniamino Garau. " Traffic congestion has now reached intolerable levels, with travel times reaching two or three hours . It's unthinkable that our student commuters, heading to Cagliari, are forced to endure this daily."
For this reason, the mayor, reached by telephone, then specified that he had already contacted the Metropolitan City's Delegate for Education and the provincial school board, requesting the immediate activation of distance learning for all commuting students.
"This measure will be necessary and unavoidable until ANAS resolves the issue of reactivating connections on the SS195 or identifies truly acceptable alternative routes. We hope the interventions are swift and effective," he said.
According to the mayor, we must act immediately, "decisively, without hesitation. We cannot allow delays, uncertainties, or buck-passing to continue to fall on our children and their families . I will continue to monitor the situation closely and update the public promptly. Faced with a crisis of this magnitude, responses must be immediate, concrete, and responsible."
"This morning, with the reopening of schools and offices, traveling to Cagliari was a nightmare, with a constant queue of cars and trucks from the Macchiareddu roundabout to Assemini. I hope that the €15 million earmarked for the construction of a hideous and unnecessary railway viaduct in the garden city of Poggio dei Pini—at the edge of the lake—will be immediately allocated to the safety improvements of the SS 195 highway, through the construction of protective barriers at sea along the most critical sections," said Capoterra City Council President Franco Magi.
