Viale Sant'Avendrace, the Municipality of Cagliari tries again. But first the costs must be precisely redefined. Because since the tender for the redevelopment of the road was conceived in 2018, the costs of materials have increased and the regional tariff has also changed. The architect Valeria Masala, who has received a commission worth 27 thousand euros, will do the calculations, with the update of the executive project. But there is already an estimate: the intervention could cost over 2.7 million. A sum partly covered by a new allocation recently approved by the city council, for 1.2 million euros.
The construction site that should change the face of the most important road in Sant'Avendrace could thus restart. The first attempt, for just under 2.5 million, was a flop. Planning in 2018, tender in 2019, delivery of the works to the company "Catizone geom. Pietro Fiore" in 2021, then only problems: first a variant appraisal, then delays, the workers who had disappeared. And in October 2023 the termination of the contract for serious breaches. Result: only a small part of the intervention completed, residents and commercial activities prisoners of abandoned barriers on gutted sidewalks.
The money is still there, more has been put in. And at Palazzo Bacaredda, as in the neighborhood, they hope that this time it will be the right one: the architect in charge has 30 days to finish his work. Then another contract will be necessary to restart the construction site.
