Work has begun on the structural adaptation of the railway viaduct in Desenzano. The project includes interventions to strengthen the supporting structures of the viaduct, with the installation of new anti-seismic elements and the construction of works to protect against rainwater.
The structural adaptation of the viaduct is a necessary intervention to ensure the safety and reliability of the Milan-Venice railway line, one of the main rail transport routes in northern Italy. The Desenzano viaduct is a fundamental engineering structure for crossing the hilly territory surrounding Lake Garda.
The replacement of the parapets was only one of the first phases of the overall intervention, which is now about to enter its main phase. Thanks to the authorization from the Superintendence for Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia, the works will be able to start at the end of May.
The ultimate goal of the project is to ensure the structural stability of the viaduct and solve the problems caused by erosion due to the acidity of rainwater. This will ensure the operational continuity of the railway line and avoid critical situations that could compromise the safety of passengers and industry operators.
Despite the inevitable disruptions caused by the works on the road network of Via Bezzecca, all necessary measures will be implemented to guarantee vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This is an important commitment on the part of the competent authorities, who have the responsibility to minimize the negative impacts on the daily activities of citizens.
