WHO ARE THE PICKET TECHNICIANS WHO MAKE THE BRIDGE OVER THE STRAIT WALKING

+++

EXTRACT FROM AN ARTICLE FROM SOLE 24 ORE ON THE BRIDGE:

Forty-two pages and 239 points divided between street procedures, impact assessment, land use plan and compliance checks. All technical terms to say only one thing: the Strait Bridge project must be integrated with new elements of analysis necessary for the work of the Via-Vas del Mase Commission chaired by Massimiliano Atelli. And which will have to give a binding opinion on the impact of the project on the environment. An ordinary request, ministry sources say. And reiterated by Minister Pichetto Fratin himself to put out the fire of controversy that flared up yesterday following the news of an in-depth study: «A typical act – he said in a note – of the first part of every environmental impact assessment procedure». The theater is that of the Services Conference which started the machines yesterday and which will have 90 days to examine the folder and make observations. It is there that the Environment dossier steals the show with topics that range across different fronts, all of an environmental nature and which however fits into the standard procedures of project evaluation processes. Compared to others, they say, this wouldn't even be a record.

Going into the merits, there really is everything: ranging from the cost-benefit analysis with the request to better clarify the "social, economic, political and institutional context in which the project is set" to the delicate issue of the maintenance costs of the work . And therefore the "request to better specify the type and variety of investment, maintenance and management costs of the work". It is not clear to the Commission "whether the cost estimate has been updated compared to current conditions or whether the values ​​indicated in the previous documentation have been maintained", in light of the fact that the world has changed in the meantime. And that on bridges the cost gap is quantified at 26 percent. The dossier also asks for information on the construction phase which will presumably last several years and which in the report was treated with the elements of the operation of the Bridge. The project "does not describe the construction site system, limiting itself to the list of identified construction site areas", writes the Commission. The report also calls for further investigation of seismic elements with the hypothesis of a tsunami, elements of air quality assessment, also taking into consideration the operating activities and the passage of a considerable number of cars and trucks. But there is also something for the marine environment, the protection of coasts and waters. The ball now passes to the Strait of Messina Company.
