Last Updated: April 1, 2024

The article talks about the ongoing process for the reopening of provincial road 37, which connects Palermo to Belmonte Mezzagno and Santa Cristina Gela, after a landslide caused serious damage to the paramassi tunnel. The new government commissioner for the prevention of hydrogeological instability in the Sicilian Region, Salvatore Lizzio, has confirmed the appointment for the acquisition of the executive design and coordination of safety in the design phase for risk mitigation interventions on the damaged section of provincial road 37. The mayor of Belmonte Mezzagno, Maurizio Milone, mentions that the immediate replacement of the former commissioner Maurizio Croce, who was under house arrest for corruption and illicit financing, by Salvo Lizzio has prevented delays in the road’s reopening. The project has been entrusted to the Pro Geo geotechnical design company, with a total cost of 6.85 million euros. The company has 30 days to complete the project, and the municipal administration will continue to monitor the works until their final completion.
