Recovery, Draghi: “A large part of the resources allocated to infrastructures. Salerno-Reggio Calabria will be real high speed “

«Mission 3 has a series of investments aimed at developing a modern, digital, sustainable and interconnected transport infrastructure network. Overall, over € 31 billion have been allocated to this purpose. A large part of the resources is destined for the modernization and strengthening of the railway network. The completion of the main high-speed and high-capacity railway axes is expected (for an estimated cost of 13.2 billion), the integration between these and the regional railway network and the safety of the entire network ”. Prime Minister Mario Draghi said this while illustrating the Recovery plan in the Chamber.

“There are also interventions for the digitalization of the logistics system, to improve the safety of bridges and viaducts, and measures to increase the competitiveness, capacity and productivity of Italian ports”, added the premier who, however, insisted on the centrality of the South in the Plan: «The potential of the South in terms of development, competitiveness and employment is as wide as its gap from the rest of the country. It is not a question of bell towers: if the south grows, so does Italy. More than 50 per cent of the total investments in infrastructures – above all the high-speed railway and the port system – are directed to the south ».

Draghi estimates that «the overall increase in the GDP of the South in the years 2021-2026 will be almost 1.5 times the increase in the national GDP. The goal is to make the South a place of attraction for private capital and innovative companies ». And in this context fits the allocation of another 26 billion for high-speed rail including the Salerno-Reggio Calabria “which will become a real high speed and the Vicenza crossing on the Milan-Venice high-speed line”. Prime Minister Mario Draghi said this in the Chamber. (HANDLE). MAT-ESP
