Green light for the works, the S'acqua Cotta roundabout will soon be a reality: according to forecasts, the works for the infrastructure at the crossroads between State Road 196 and State Road 293 will last 270 days and the work will cost 704,138.40 EUR.
The executive project was presented this morning in the council chamber of the Municipality of Villacidro . The first citizens Arbus, Guspini, Gonnosfanadiga, Villasor, Vallermosa, Samassi and Serramanna and the institutional representatives of the territory were present at the official ceremony alongside the mayor of Villacidro, Federico Sollai.
Once completed, the roundabout will reduce the danger of the road and the intersection, already the scene of numerous accidents, including fatal ones. Indeed, the project has the following objectives:
- the increase in safety conditions;
- speed moderation;
- the reduction of accidents and traffic;
- respect for the environment and the surrounding landscape
The roundabout - with a ground-level configuration, regulated by precedence - will become one of the focal points of the viability of a particularly busy area.
The statistics prove it: between 7 and 8 in the morning and between 17 and 18, the greatest number of vehicles pass through the area. The average weekday flow along the SS 196 is 3258 vehicles per day and on the SS 293 it is 2293 vehicles per day.
«Finally, after more than 15 years of solicitations and actions by the mayors of the area and the families who have had to suffer mourning for the loss of numerous human lives, a great result has been achieved which will allow, once completed, to drastically reduce the number of accidents at the crossroads of S'Acqua Cotta and above all saving human lives" , underlined the mayor of Villacidro, Federico Sollai, "this is a great day for all of us".
