Building the Network of the Future
Types of work
ASPI is implementing a major plan to upgrade and modernise the network. However, not all works are directly visible to users, as this depends on the type of activity performed.
Additional Signage - Keys
Particularly in tunnel modernisation works, workers operate inside tunnels that are closed to traffic for safety reasons and are therefore not visible. The traffic is diverted to the tunnel in the opposite carriageway well in advance, through narrowings and diversions in compliance with regulatory requirements.
In case of technical inspections and viaduct retrofitting, activities normally take place below the road surface. The inspections required by the new standards can also lead to permanent restrictions during inspection, design and contracting phases, thus preceding their performance.
Lastly, safety barriers are replaced and modernised in specific places, whereas construction sites are set up over extended stretches to allow work to progress with permanent signs, thus protecting operators.
Why don't I see people at work?
In order to answer this question and provide a full description of the works that are not visible from the street, we have created these short footages. Even when you can't see us, we are constantly working!
Tunnel works
Technical inspections
Adaptation of structures
Replacement of barriers
We are aware that construction sites represent a sometimes unacceptable inconvenience for users, despite the fact that they are motivated by an unprecedented infrastructure modernization plan and carried out with all possible expedients to limit their duration and impact on traffic. This is also why we, the first highway operators in Europe, have instituted toll cash back in case of delays caused by works on our network. For more information visit Cashback
