The authorities allocate funds
Good news for Ventimiglia, folks! The Liguria Region has followed through on its promise and included the Squarciafichi Bridge project in the second batch of its 2025 strategic fund. This much-anticipated development is set to receive final approval later today, when the regional cabinet meets.
Mayor Flavio Di Muro, a man of his word, made this commitment during his election campaign. "The Region will financially support the realization of this crucial infrastructure," he had declared, and the people of Liguria didn't forget. Paving the way for this ambitious venture has been a dedicated infrastructure assessor, Giacomo Raul Giampedrone, who's worked tirelessly to move things forward.
With a hefty 6 million euros allocation from Via Fieschi, this project is set to receive the largest funding of this second batch. The demolition of the remaining monolith has already been completed, paving the way for the technical surveys needed for its reconstruction. Split for too many years, Ventimiglia is ready to come together once more.
More than a simple bridge, Squarciafichi had become a symbol of unity between the city center, Marina San Giuseppe, and the historic center. The French, too, have shown solidarity, empathizing with the community's weariness at its prolonged absence.
Mayor Di Muro, understandably tight-lipped on account of ongoing discussions, has preferred not to comment, but he will do so once the project is officially confirmed. The Squarciafichi Bridge has been a subject of debates, controversies, and speculations, making it a sensitive topic for the whole community.
The entirety of the project isn't complete yet, as the Mentone-Ventimiglia bike path and the motorway between the motorway barrier and the Peglia area are still missing. But with this latest development, there's renewed hope that the city's dreams will become reality.
