The intervention, devised for the completion and development of the northern sector of the Gioia Tauro Seaport, aims at upgrading the road system thanks to new road axes, totalling  an overall development of about 3.100 m:

– axis A, with a double-lane roadway, as a bypass to the S. Ferdinando junction railway track;

– axes B and C, single-lane, to resume the MCT connection;

– axes D and E, with their two lanes branching off from a roundabout intersection to be built at the end of axis A, and allowing connections to the former Isotta Fraschini plant area and the former ENEL area.

To complete the operations planned for the main axis, a new configuration of the railway shunting rod has been added in the southeast ern area of the MCT aprons. Moreover, the Port Authority also intends to improve the so-called “backdock” traffic circulation, which develops along the wave barrier protecting the inner basin of the Port. This is an intervention of totalling a development of about 3.000m, divided into three sections measuring 195m respectively: a 1.200m long connection to the existing traffic segment in which the longitudinal profile is to be brought to compliance standards; an intermediate section that borders the wave barrier wall, for which flexible paving (binder + wearing course) is planned to be laid on the underlying existing concrete layer, and also includes three rods of connection with the existing road network(facing the internal basin) for a total development of about 400m; a final stretchof about 1.600m where it is estimated that the recently built flooring will only require the paving of the wearing course.

Finally, in order to connect two different functional areas (loading/unloading yard and workshops), the built railway road system consists of a total of 830m of development site, 700m of which follow an obsolete railway section, with the creation of a mixed-use roadway and a 130m green area within the port.
