"There are at least ten good reasons to implement as soon as the slip-Brancialino Madonnuccia that will ensure the direct engagement of Marecchiese on the release of existing E45. So begins the Councilor Alberto Santucci in the aftermath of the meeting held in Sansepolcro between the provincial government and the directors of the Upper Tiber Valley. The meeting, which touched on many interesting issues, has concluded its evaluation of the proposed link road from Santucci: a positive assessment, shared by all the mayors from the Tiber to provincial administrators. Moreover Santucci, following a question tabled their articles in October last, had already collected a first opinion in favor of the project by the Province of Arezzo. Important and have proved particularly significant - in the closing meeting and made the order - the statements Claudio Marcelli (Deputy Mayor of Pieve Santo Stefano), Fabrizio Giovannini (Mayor of Badia Tedalda) and Elbo Donati (Mayor of Sestino), all in the sense of full approval, sharing and support for the project. "Ten good reasons to do as soon as the slip - argues Santucci - are easily explained. This is not a huge project by the stratospheric costs, but an intervention by the modest cost. The slip road will be long and only 5 km followed by a existing traffic exiting at km 10 of Marecchiese. The slip does not need to tunnel or viaduct, which is why in addition to being inexpensive will have a very low environmental impact. In the face of reduced costs and reduced environmental impact, this variant will be able to great use: reducing by about five minutes travel time in the mountain section Badia Tedalda-Sansepolcro, improving road safety and providing an output of AND 45 and coupling direct and easily identifiable on 258 for Badia Tedalda, Sestino , Rimini and San Marino, which is essential also in terms of visibility and tourist development of those mountain towns. The hypothesis of suspender-Brancialino Madonnuccia has been studied and proposed as far back as 1995 by the University of Florence in the organic study 'Evaluation of the functional state of the State Road 258 Marecchiese and hypotheses of adaptation in the short and medium term' prepared by the Professor Marchetta. In town The Madonnuccia (Pieve Santo Stefano) the release of E 45 should not be created from scratch as it already exists. In the conference 'A Valley road asks: ideas, proposals and plans for a possible road' Novafeltria held in September 26, 2009 as the town that the Province of Rimini and the Republic of San Marino have seriously enjoyed this project hypothesis proposed by myself. The Provincial Administration of Arezzo has expressed similar appreciation and support in writing. The mayors are in favor of the Tiber Valley to the riser. Finally, after decades of inter-regional conferences, after huge project falls into the void, after the observations and counter the Province of Arezzo 1998, a brace of 5 km, economic, non-impacting and very useful in terms of safety, visibility of our mountainous districts, reduced travel times, resulting in relief of commuter students and workers deserve it right. "" Now - Santucci contends - albeit important step from the first assessments for, we must move to the operational feasibility studies and preliminary designs to be drawn up, introduce and support together with the Region, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, and Anas. This will be essential to support unified and specified across the Tiber, and it will be essential to the effective political and technical administration provincial

I hope that this proposal be taken seriously by the relevant bodies and there is a serious concern to the practical implementation, under even greater attention to safety on the SR258.
