Multi-level entrance junction to the Adriatica state road in the Municipality of Cervia

The project consists of the overall reorganization of the existing accesses to the S.S.16 Adriatica state road in the territory of Pinarella (RA), at the flush intersection between the state road and former S.S.71bis road. A multi-level junction was designed, with an underpass crossing the adjacent Ravenna-Rimini railway line and a direct connection with the internal municipal traffic. The works involved several subjects: the Province of Ravenna, the Municipality of Cervia, ANAS, RFI and the Emilia-Romagna Region Emilia-Romagna.

It was possible to achieve the following goals:

Safety improvement of a critical connection between the S.S.16 and the ex S.S.71 bis roads, by enhancing the road network and traffic flows;
Removal of the three existing level crossings along the Ravenna-Rimini railway line, namely in Via Caduti della Libertà, in Via Lazio and in Via Casello del Diavolo;
Realization of an important road connection, directly leading to the town of Cervia, avoiding flush intersections with the railway line, efficiently connected to the primary and main existing road networks.

Roundabouts and underpasses connecting with the town road network;
Doubling of the structures along the river Montone, along the Bologna-Ancona railway line, and numerous overpasses crossing municipal roads;
An artificial two-way tunnel about one kilometre long, with a skylight pit in the middle and lateral emergency exits;
Technological station to control and manage the artificial tunnel, located on its top, with remote control of systems, ENEL booth and anti-fire basin;
New connections with the existing road network;
Cloverleaf junction connecting the existing eastern ring road and the roundabout accessing the municipal road network.

The final road section is of type III, C.N.R. regulation of 1980, with two carriageways of width 8.75 metres, with two lanes per direction in the first lot, thus increasing the existing road potential, whereas for the second lot it is of type III enlarged, as per ANAS circular letter No. 38 dated 21^st September 1999, with two carriageways of 11 metres.

Rotatoria delle Saline in ingresso alla città di Cervia

Il progetto nasce dalla necessità di ammodernare, razionalizzandolo, un incrocio nevralgico, congestionato e particolarmente pericoloso esistente fra la SS. 16 Adriatica e la ex S.S. 254 Cervese a ridosso dell’abitato di Cervia. Su tale incrocio confluiscono volumi di traffico assai rilevanti, che nella stagione estiva si incrementano in modo esponenziale, con conseguenti disagi alla circolazione ed effetti nocivi sull’ambiente.

L’intervento di progetto prevede la costruzione di un’ampia rotatoria a raso, servita da rami di approccio e raccordo alla viabilità esistente nelle due direttrici principali, finalizzata all’incremento del livello di servizio e sicurezza dell’attuale incrocio, al decongestionamento dei flussi di traffico esistenti ed alla conseguente riduzione degli agenti inquinanti.

Il nuovo asse a circolazione rotatoria presenta un diametro esterno di circa 110 metri, con una larghezza della piattaforma stradale di 12 metri: la pavimentazione sarà realizzata in conglomerato bituminoso miscelato con polverino di gomma da pneumatici fuori uso, prodotto innovativo eco-compatibile che porterà ad un significativo abbattimento delle emissioni sonore.

L’intervento è completato dalla posa di una barriera fonoassorbente integrata idonea a trattenere i veicoli in svio e a limitare l’inquinamento acustico ed atmosferico indotto dal traffico, da una nuova rete di drenaggio asservita ad un impianto di trattamento delle acque di prima pioggia e da un impianto di illuminazione a tecnologia LED.

I lavori comprendono l’adeguamento di tutte le reti tecnologiche interferite, quali acquedotto, gas, fognatura, distribuzione elettrica, linee telefoniche, oltre al completamento del grosso collettore fognario comunale di via Martiri Fantini. Lo opere di protezione della condotta a servizio dell’Acquedotto della Romagna sono state preliminarmente eseguite da Romagna Acque Società delle Fonti.
