The works that will affect the Busalla junction on the A7 Genoa-Milan motorway, which will result in the closure of the toll booth, alarm Federlogistica which reminds how every day from at least 8,000 vehicles pass through this toll booth, with a percentage increasing number of trucks coming from and destination the port of Genoa. The federation fears that the closure of the junction for more than seven months per year, the first time starting from next autumn until May in late May, i.e. in the corresponding period of 2026, risks "to become a real paradigm of very dangerous and increasingly less reconcilable coexistence between large works on the motorway network and road freight traffic".

"It's true - specifies Davide Falteri, new president of Federlogistica - with the closure of the Busalla toll booth and with the obligation to divert part of the traffic to provincial roads species with destination and origin the numerous companies (more of 2,000 with over 6,000 employees) that characterize the territory metropolitan area at the mouth of the Scrivia Valley, is An exemption from motorway tolls has already been decided Ronco Scrivia in Genoa. But this - Falteri warns - risks change very little from the point of view of the operational consequences of a measure, the closure of Busalla, which euphemistically is defined as impactful".

"The case of Busalla - continues the president of Federlogistica - creates yet another precedent in a region, the Liguria, battered by motorway construction sites and therefore by a perennial congestion of the network. Today it is calculated that for cover the 140 kilometres of motorway that separate the Milan from that of Genoa west, the travel times are on average 30% higher than those of 6/7 years ago, because of the patchy opening, of an infinite a succession of motorway construction sites; and this without counting the further unproductive stops caused by blockades at port gates deriving not from increases in traffic, but from congestion chronic of the same".

According to Federlogistica, assuming that the works are not can neither be postponed nor spread in a different throughout the day, the only answer goes through a telematic and computerized control of flows that makes it possible to a staggered arrival of goods and trucks at the port gates and vice versa. "We are not dissecting, as is too often done, of wide-ranging projects - concludes Falteri - but of immediate control measures that allow for the cadence of arrivals and departures, among other things, allowing road haulage not to suffer the extra charges deriving from the lack of logistical planning; Charges only to a small extent offset by congestion fees that already today they are applied in the port of Genoa. Let's set ourselves the goal of make Busalla the laboratory for verification and implementation of serious solutions on the control of truck traffic and logistical flows".
