Project Description

Final Design and Work Supervision. Road linking Adriatic and Tirrenian sea, crossing one of the most complex mountainous areas from the geological point of view, involving grounds characterized by unstable multicolored clays that required reinforcement works and complex reclaiming structures. The road section is characterized by numerous viaducts (approximately 8 km) and by numerous underground works.

The IV lot links the town of Castel di Sangro to the national road 17, near Cerro al Volturno. The national road 17 reaches, through the Venafro variant, the Highway “Del Sole”, near the S.Vittore junction. The lot develops mainly side hill on generally stable clayey grounds. The Volturno viaduct is the main structure on the lot, and crosses the Volturno river plain at a height of approximately 80 m. The interaxis among piles is 75 m. Foundation on large diameter piles. The prestressed concrete deck is composed by two cantilevers of 15 m in length and by a beam of 35 m. The lot includes various tunnels and artificial tunnels crossing the clayey complex. In some cases, reinforcement works and complex reclaiming structures were required.
