Work has begun on the Rovizza junction

On Wednesday, May 14, work began on the construction of the Rovizza junction, the last missing piece of the Brescia-Verona ring road, begun in the 1990s.

The work, worth 2.4 million euros funded by the Lombardy Region, will serve to better connect the Rovizza and Pozzolengo area to the main Garda road network, also improving road safety.

The work is respecting the times set by the Province of Brescia, which had promised the opening of the construction site by mid-May. The construction site will last approximately 10 months. Thanks to this new junction, even those who live in these areas will be able to directly access the ring road.
Until now, in fact, those arriving from Brescia had to go to Peschiera and then go back to reach Rovizza, and those who wanted to go from Rovizza to Peschiera had to take a long journey.

A 9-meter-wide stretch of local road will also be built (3.5 meters for each lane and 1 meter of hard shoulder on each side) for a total of 410 meters, half in the territory of Peschiera and half in that of Pozzolengo. In Pozzolengo, a roundabout will be built with an external diameter of 46 meters and an internal diameter of 26 meters, covered with cobblestones.
