The new phase of Sicilian road infrastructure is worth one billion euros. This is the volume of investments related to the 52 upcoming projects announced by Anas, a package that adds to the already open construction sites and focuses on some works awaited for years: from the Gela Ring Road to the completion of the route on SS 284 between Adrano and Paternò, up to the variant between the Vittoria West and Comiso South junctions.

This is the front on which an important part of the Island’s road network development program will be played out in the coming months. The size and prospects are indicated by Anas CEO Claudio Andrea Gemme. According to the statement released by the company, there are a total of 146 ongoing projects: 131 scheduled maintenance and 15 new works, for a total investment of 4.5 billion euros. Another 52 projects are about to start, for a further investment of one billion euros.
Among the works destined to have the greatest impact on Sicilian mobility remains naturally the Ragusa-Catania, already under construction, with a total investment of 1.5 billion. But the program also looks at completing connections that have long remained unfinished or inadequate compared to traffic flows. For example, the opening of the new San Leonardo viaduct, indicated by Anas as the last missing piece of the Palermo-Agrigento route, is imminent, while work on SS 284 in the Adrano-Bronte section is also nearing completion.

“An efficient, safe, and technologically advanced road network is not only essential for mobility. It is also a determining factor to support economic growth, promote logistics, strengthen Made in Italy, and ensure cohesion between territories. The competitiveness of companies also depends on the ability to move people and goods quickly, reliably, and safely,” emphasizes Gemme.
The new works program builds on an already very large amount of work. In Sicily, there are currently 146 ongoing projects, of which 131 are scheduled maintenance and 15 new works, for a total investment of 4.5 billion euros.
