The Mestre bypass

Each month there's a meeting of Cipe, Comitato Interministeriale per la programmazione Economica = Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning) to evaluate the proposals of the various Ministries. Starting from this month I will keep you informed on this blog about the work approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure.
Among the measures approved on 22 December is the Mestre Bypass, whose realization will be the responsibility of Anas.
The profits from the tolls paid by motorists on the bypass, net of expenditure and dues, will be wholly re-invested in the construction of infrastructure in Veneto {the region round Venice}.
The technical definition of the agreement with the Veneto region is nearly ready and will be completed in January 2007.
The governor Gian Carlo Galan has already had the occasion to declare: 'a battle that has seen the Minister Di Pietro in confrontation with the motorway concessionaires, for very fundamental reasons.' He will be able to start off and complete the numerous engineering works planned for Veneto.
The collaboration between the Ministry and the local Public Administrations is fundamental for the development of the country and it is a principle that I am following with no political calculations. Thus without distinguishing between Governors and Mayors who are right wing or left wing. Once more wishing you a good festive season.
