The streets affected by the works

The race for the Tour of Italy in Naples it will only take place on asphalt, given that the last time Naples hosted the event, the runners were forced to slow down due to the cobblestones. In fact, currently the only stretch of this kind will be the path dfrom Piazza del Plebiscito to via Chiatamone.

The works are proceeding in different ways, some are already completed such as V.ia Provincial San Gennaro, Via Kennedy and Via Nuova Agnano, while others were already ready such as the Lungomare and Coroglio descent.

Via Orazio has been patched up in the middle of the street, while in via Manzoni and via Boccaccio Sconnessi work is being done to make some points of the road practicable, where the roots of the trees are located. You also work on Via Leonardi Cattolica, in Posillipo, between via Manzoni, Via Boccaccio and Via Petrarca.
