Waterfalls from the railway bridge, protest in via San Francesco

The phenomenon occurs at every storm after the electrification works along the tracks

Belluno, waterfalls from the railway bridge on via San Francesco

BELLUNO. Waterfalls at every rain from the railway bridge: the inhabitants of Via San Francesco are exasperated and ask for a quick solution.

Avoid via San Francesco during a heavy downpour if you don’t want to risk something happening on your head, at best a large amount of water. After the preliminary work on electrification, in fact, the new waterproofing of the railway bridge over the Ardo seems to have made rainwater rediscover alternative drainage routes to get to the ground. The problem is that one of these discharges directly onto the street, while the other two throw violently directly into the gardens and orchards below.

The videos shot by the residents speak for themselves, showing three massive jets of water that can be dangerous not only for car bodies, but also for some unfortunate pedestrians.

“It is a situation that is no longer tolerable”, the residents attack, “before the water was all conveyed into a canal that goes down the side of the bridge, passes under the road and throws everything into the stream, after the works and the construction of two walls next to the tracks that prevent the water from flowing out as before, now everything is dripping from some side holes, creating this disaster ».

But that is not all. It seems that the rainwater drainage system from the Alpini bridge also plays its part in making the situation complicated: “All the drains from the bridge on this side of the Ardo are conveyed to a miserable well which is not enough”, they point out. the residents, “when it fills up, once again dumps all the water in the street, where the manholes do not have the capacity to receive it”. The result, after the increasingly frequent storms that hit our territory, is a road constantly full of stones and gravel, dragged on the asphalt by the nearby gardens. “We find the road completely full of stones and earth and even if every now and then they go to clean, the next rain we start again”, continue the inhabitants of via San Francesco, “this is not only true for the road, however, since even the lawn of the house closest to the bridge is constantly invaded by material of all kinds dragged by the water ».

In recent days, some technicians have been seen taking care of the measurements to find a solution but, as reported by the citizens themselves, a rebound of responsibility seems to have already arisen which, it is predictable, will slow down any type of intervention: “The Municipality says that it is the responsibility of railways, because the water falls from the bridge that is their property, while the railways claim that the water starts from an area of ​​Cavarzano where the drainage pipes are absent or poorly made and that, therefore, must be the Municipality to take care of making the necessary interventions to avoid the problem at its origin “, the residents report again,” the result is that we must continue to witness this unworthy spectacle with every abundant rain “.

The point affected by this new water problem had risen to headlines for some landslides that started from under Via Frigimelica, which had flooded a house and flooded the square under the railway bridge with mud and water. The Municipality, in that case, had promised a definitive resolution, with the start of the safety works of the landslide scheduled for the end of 2020, another intervention that the residents are still waiting for.
