A blow to the Neapolitan citizens to discover that i PNRR funds (forming part of the "Plan for Naples") of the government had been revoked and, consequently, the city should have renounce to the dream of having one stop of the subway line 1 in the ward Health.
There was, however, still a little hope in this regard and today comes the confirmation that seems to be definitive: the funds have been recovered and the Metro Line 1 exit in the Sanità district will come to life. Here is everything that was said during the meeting reported in Press release of the Council of 06/02/2023.
Guaranteed financing
The commissioner Cosenza he specified that the “Healthcare” entrance will be created e funded entirely with 6 million and 900 thousand euros of PNRR funds. There still seem to be some problems bureaucratic: Technicians must conduct surveys in an area of Private property, but the issue will be resolved without the need to carry out expropriations and with limited effects for the residents.
According to forecasts and projects, the time to complete the work will be 24 months, within the deadline set by the PNRR for 2026.
According to the designers, the time required to carry out the works will be 24 months, therefore absolutely compatible with the deadline set by the PNRR which is 2026. The councilor for urban planning Laura Lieto explained that the strong point of the project lies in the fact that half of the interventions will take place within an existing underground route, a tunnel dug inside a nineteenth-century cavity, also used as an air-raid shelter during the Second World War.
The Project comes to life in a nineteenth-century cavity
The councilor for urban planning Laura Lieto explained that the project is particularly strong since half of the interventions will take place within a underground path existing, a tunnel dug inside a cavity nineteenth which was also used as air-raid shelter during the Second Word War.
This project is therefore consistent with the identity and history of the places, just like the Metrò dell'Arte. Furthermore, there are no structural risks, as demonstrated by the numerous scientific studies conducted on the area.
