National Strategy Inner Areas - Improving Road Accessibility and Safety

One of the two projects concerns the section along Provincial Road S.P. 78 between the towns of Pieve Tesino and Castello Tesino, with the aim of creating a route, in its own roadway, for weak users (cyclists, pedestrians).
At present, S.P. 78 is the only road that the inhabitants of the municipalities of Pieve Tesino, Cinte Tesino, and Castello Tesino can use for their daily commute (going to work, school, town halls, multi-purpose centres, playgrounds, sports centres, etc.). This is also the only route that tourists who decide to travel to Tesino can use.
In addition to a critical traffic issue, there is also the problem of the promiscuity of vehicles: cyclists and pedestrians who decide to use this road do not have a safe space protected from heavy vehicles.
The work, therefore, will focus on the redevelopment of Provincial Road SP 78 and the construction of a cycle/pedestrian path, which will run alongside the SP without creating a discontinuity.

A second project concerns the internal area of Val di Sole.
Currently, the S.S. 42 in the municipality of Commezzadura is set at a higher elevation than the town's land, becoming a visual and functional barrier. To reach the activities located on the south side of the Noce stream, one must therefore enter the hamlet of Mestriago, creating traffic in the village centre (near the school and the civic centre).
The intervention aims to remove traffic from the village, while creating alternatives for the most at-risk users (the elderly, children, women with pushchairs).

The project combines two objectives present in the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) and the PNC (National Plan for Complementary Investments): support for the so-called 'inland areas' and the improvement of accessibility and safety of roads, especially in the inland areas.

Specifically, the interventions will provide social support by improving the road network in the municipalities involved, especially for the weak categories (pedestrians and cyclists).

If road safety is the main objective, an important role will also be given to the reduction of pollution and a road reorganisation also useful for the development of tourism in the area.

Target: to contribute to the national target of completing the works/testing the works for a total of 2,000 km of roads in inland areas.

The implementation of the NRP in Trentino fits coherently into the programme framework for sustainable provincial development, according to the policies identified in the provincial Economic and Financial Document and its Update Note.
