Initiatives born from the collaboration between Strada dei Parchi and the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park Authority continue. National Park President Tommaso Navarra and SdP CEO Riccardo Mollo inaugurated a luminous skyline, installed on an overpass crossing the A24 in the territory of Lucoli (AQ). The profile of the Gran Sasso Massif, crossed by the iconic chamois that identifies the National Park, from today introduces travelers to the discovery of a unique and delicate ecosystem that Strada dei Parchi wants to invite them to know and respect. A heritage of extraordinary biodiversity and unspoiled landscapes that the Park Authority has been protecting for almost 30 years.
“It consolidates a positive institutional synergy that sees the Authority and the Strada dei Parchi S.p.A. Company usefully operating, to which our thanks go on behalf of our identity community that lives our territory.” said President Navarra “Today we inaugurate a door, not only symbolic, of access to our protected area; all those who will walk through it will have the opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary value of the environmental matrices they approach.”
“This is a small contribution of ours to an important collaboration with a large institution, which provides a valuable service to the community,” added CEO Riccardo Mollo. “Highway rehabilitation work in this area is proceeding apace, also and above all thanks to the understanding and synergies that Strada dei Parchi has established with the territory. We would like to operate with the same fruitful unity of purpose with the Grantor, but the approval of the only certain source of planning, the PEF, is continually postponed. Without this tool, the rehabilitation of the highway is locked to this area and to seismic retrofitting alone “.
“The overall program, already defined with the Extraordinary Commissioner, which provides for investments of more than six billion euros without further unsustainable burdens for our Customers, has been at a standstill for ten years,” continues Riccardo Mollo. “Of these funds, a good eight hundred million are related to urgent interventions that can no longer be deferred. The paradox is that they are planned and financed, they could be executed immediately but, despite all the efforts made by Strada dei Parchi over the years, they are not given the go-ahead “.
