Works will contribute to transforming the Ionian Corridor into a strategic infrastructure that will connect the Ionian coasts of Calabria, Basilicata and Puglia

Roseto Capo Spulico, February 28, 2024 – Works on the Third Megalot of the Ionian Highway 106 proceed at a fast pace. Today, in fact, the south barrel diaphragm of the Roseto 1 Tunnel that is 1,200 metre-long, was knocked down.
