As in every holiday then, on 8 December the transit on the motorway from 9 to 22 to unauthorized heavy vehicles will be prohibited. The same thing will happen for the days of 25 and 26 December and 1 January 2023. A move implemented to limit the number of trucks and heavy vehicles on days with intense traffic risk.
As with any bridge, a real one was branched off red dot for the highways. The motorway junction which – most likely – will be affected by intense traffic in both directions will be that of Bologna.
