The shippers spezzini denounce as incredible, paradoxical and unacceptable the exclusion of the Pontremolese from Flat "Fast Italy"



The Association Shippers of the La Spezia Port denunciation the exclusion of the Pontremolese Railroad from the program of cantierabili infrastructures called "Fast Italy" that is introduced to States general of the economy from the ministra of Infrastructures and the Transports, Paola De Micheli. A depennamento that the president of the Andrea Fontana association has defined "incredible", "paradoxical" and "unacceptable": "draft - Fontana has remembered - of a plan, and has been specified "not of a dream book", that it characterizes the priority works: 39 participations for roads and freeways, 13 participations on the guiding ones and (on the railway knots), for ports and airports, of investments from 196,5 billion, of which already 129,6 assigned and 66,9 billion residual requirements. Own because it is acknowledged that we are in front of extraordinary resources - has emphasized Fontana - it astonishes that in 113,4 billion destined to the railway works, the voice "Pontremolese" is not previewed not even. And to think that a billion of the 113,4 would be enough in order to realize the doubling of the pass gallery with which the carried out moment would be marked finally of a work set up in the Eighties".

"We consider therefore - it has continued the president of the shippers spezzini - the exclusion from Flat "Fast Italy" of the doubling of the Railway Line Pontremolese for many reasons most serious between which we indicate at least three: the fact that draft of a strategic work not only for the three interested regions (Liguria, Emilia and Tuscany) and for all the harbour system and logistic Alto Tirreno La Spezia, Marina di Carrara and Livorno, but above all strategic for the Italy system is for the direct connections is for the subsidiary connections. An example: if when, because of the famous and dramatic incident, is blocked the high speed - Fontana has explained - us had been doubled a Pontremolese line the consequent uneasiness quickly would be absorbed".

The second reason - it has specified Fontana - is "the obvious contradiction with the considerations and the proposals - in our case on ports and railroads (chapter 39) - contained in the flat Colao that indicates La Spezia, between the two vituous ports in Italy, for the meaningful quotas the transport goods on track, therefore to upgrade. And with which other direct system it is upgraded - it has observed Fontana - if not with the Pontremolese".

The third reason is that "the doubling of the line the Spezia-Parma would carry to the maximum of its efficiency the harbour and logistic system of Tyrrhenian to the service of its immediate hub territorial national center-north of Italy and on the guiding ones from and towards the Europe center".

"Exclusion very serious, in conclusion - it has evidenced president of the Association Spedizionieri of the La Spezia Port - of Pontremolese from works strategic and priority received from incredible Hush, without reactions, and that impose instead the urgent called in cause of our political representations, national, of the three regions Liguria, Emilia and Tuscany, and of all the communities interested, representations to which we make appeal that taste has bitter of to be last, because if it is absent when they settle the priorities gets lost also the last train indeed in order to enter in the future. And - it has concluded Fontana - to carry to the attention of ministra Paola De Micheli, to which the Pontremolese case is very famous, it is the first step that must be completed".
