“The Instead of the bridge committee received a refusal from the municipality of Messina to participate in the technical table when instead the mayor of Villa San Giovanni expressly asked citizens and associations to participate with contributions and proposals. What will the mayor of Messina say at the Conference of the services on April 16 in Rome, will he accept the decisions that will be communicated to him?”.
Elio Conti Nibali said this during the press conference of the Instead of the bridge committee in Messina.
Guido Signorino pointed out “the lack and contradictory nature of the cost/benefit analysis, noting among other things the complete absence of the financial analysis of the bridge over the Strait, the failure to cover the total cost of the investment, the collapse of jobs advertised, from 140 thousand to 2,645 new employees.
Sergio De Cola said that “the documents accompanying the project are few compared to the grandeur of the work, and the alleged update is only a continuous reference to the executive project. Reference is made to urban plans and programs which are now non-existent or heavily modified. Among many, the port master plan, approved in 2019; the planners don’t even know it exists and are referring to the previous plan.
A “gear/train control” system is used for the railways which, it is written in the papers, “cannot be used during transit on iron bridges”.
On the start of the expropriation procedures, the lawyer Carmelo Briguglio said: “A notice that uncovers a glaring hole in the route followed thus far: to date no restrictions have ever been placed on all the areas affected by the route of the railway from the city center up to the southern area. All this confirms a truly approximate approach that responds to objectives that the city and those who administer it cannot accommodate. The notice – concluded Briguglio – far from bringing anything new, adds further uncertainty to the approval of the definitive project by Cipess”.
