Soon on the A4 between Venice and Triest
works for the 3rd lane will start. Road traffic will
be very difficult. The current situation shows already
(some specific days/some peak hours)
very critical situations. This is an infrastructure
with a high level of pass-through traffic (from
Austria and Eastern Europe to Italian destinations
and vice versa). This service (even temporary)
could be a “reorientation” of transport
policy to introduce a new rail cargo service substituting
road traffic in a high congested area.
