Weight bans on ramps for Genoa airport, hauliers: “Urgent meeting requested” – Primocanale.it
GENOA – Road hauliers in revolt for some signs that have appeared in recent days in the two arteries from the Genoa Airport motorway exit allows you to reach the Cristoforo Colombo airport and its brand new car park (READ HERE).
The ban on heavy vehicles over seven tons on Via Pionieri e Aviatori d’Italia created chaos, the junction that from via Albareto leads to the Marina di Sestri, which appeared in recent days. The road is in fact one of the two roads, the most used one, for heavy vehicles that must reach the airport area from the motorway tollbooth. At the first reports, the associations of the sector have thus requested an urgent meeting with the office of the mayor of Genoa Marco Bucci and with the president of the Port System Authority of the Western Ligurian Sea, Paolo Emilio Signorini.
Giuseppe Bossa, coordinator of the road transport observatory, photographed the situation at Primocanale’s microphones. “I informed the associations in the sector that they immediately went to ask for a discussion with the institutions. We have not been warned of the change that is now putting us in serious difficulty: if we do not have a suitable solution, the hauliers could decide to strike”.
And while the trucking world looks for answers, it looks forward to next week: “On Monday a load test will be carried out on the junction: the problem is that it will be made on 7 tons – explains Bossa -, but even if it exceeds it and becomes passable for vehicles that weigh less than that number, it would still remain unusable, both for our vehicles and for the many tourist buses that move towards the Genoa airport “.
The other option (now unique) takes place in via della Superba, bypass that allows port traffic to avoid urban traffic by crossing the port and industrial area. But to get there, road hauliers and their large vehicles would have to pass through the roundabout in via San Giovanni D’Acri, often clogged with port and city traffic. “I have to thank the San Giorgio Terminal because after my report they have decided to move the entrance for their trucks, until now from the roundabout, to the point where it was before: near the Polcevera. This will certainly be a hand to make more transit is smooth, but the problem of the junction of via Pionieri e Aviatori d’Italia remains “.
The responses that led the associations in the logistics world to ask for a meeting with the authorities I am also tied to the reason for the ban.
“We have always been there, we have not registered any type of deterioration as we had to do for pylons in other areas, what is the problem? Let’s talk about safety?”
concludes Bossa.
At the moment it has not been possible to obtain from the councilor Campora the position of the Municipality of Genoa.
