THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE ROME RING ROAD WIDENING PROJECT
A 360 metre long bridge over the River Tiber and other secondary works designed to enable the widening of the Rome Ring Road motorway.

urrently in progress, the project will see the construction of the third lane of the Rome Ring Road in an extremely difficult area between km
17+400 and 18+800. The aim of the 56 million of euro project is to solve the technical problems posed by such constraints as the presence of highly built up areas, the need to cross the Tiber and the use of a single lighting solution which does not interfere with the hydroelectric plant at Castel Giubileo. The River Tiber will be crossed by two 360 metre steel bridges, one per carriageway, lit by a 160 metre central lighting system. The layout of the lighting three continuous lighting elements and one tall central light – ensures that this is the most important section of the whole Rome Ring Road lane widening project. However, the project also includes several secondary elements such as the total renewal of the Via Flaminia junction, the construction of new slip roads to nearby inhabited areas and the creation of a new pedestrian walkway.
