In particular – continues the post – the closure was announced from 9 am and continuously signaled starting at 9 pm for the entire duration of the event. In any case, let’s take a cue from your message and will try to improve the service information even more. Our technicians and workers are making unprecedented efforts to carry out a work that is not visible to travelers, but which consists in the complete renovation of the tunnels to extend their duration by tens of years. An effort that involves inevitable inconveniences, which we first would like to avoid for travelers and citizens, but which is necessary to modernize the infrastructures of this country, which largely date back to the 60s / 70s. Inside those galleries – underlines the company – hundreds of men and women work every day and night, giving their best to respect delivery times. Would you like to come and meet them? In fact, we would be happy to invite you to make an inspection inside these construction sites. She will find a lot of passion and commitment, as well as passionate fans of her and of the national team who, instead of being ashamed, will welcome her in an affectionate way. What do you think? We are waiting for you! “.
