Hitting a Snag on the Road: The Sesia Junction Delays
Drivers traveling between Borgo Vercelli and Palestro have hit a roadblock, quite literally, thanks to an ongoing Anas roadworks project at the Sesia junction. This traffic light-controlled intersection serves as the starting point for state road 596 towards Palestro, and continuing on to Borgo Vercelli or Vercelli.
Since May 5th, the junction has been subjected to asphalt resurfacing works, causing a headache for commuters with the implementation of an alternating one-way traffic system, affectionately known as a sense alternato. This change in traffic flow, particularly during peak hours, has resulted in never-ending queues.
One frustrated driver shared their experience, "I waited a good twenty minutes to take the exit towards Mortara this morning at 8:40. These works are causing a lot of inconvenience." Just a month prior, the road between the Sesia bridge and the Sesia junction was shut down due to the swollen river and the accumulation of woody debris underneath the arches. The debris remains present today.
Navigating the Chaos
In light of these inconveniences, it's essential to stay informed and adapt to the changing road conditions. Here are some suggestions to make your commute smoother:
- Alternative Routes: If possible, consider taking the SP299 or other parallel provincial roads to bypass the congested area.
- Timing: Avoid the area during rush hours (7-10 AM and 5-8 PM) if feasible to minimize delays.
- Stay Informed: Follow @AnasSpa on Twitter for real-time updates, or consult Google Maps or Waze for live congestion reports.
Remember, durations for Anas road projects can range from weeks to months. Be sure to check real-time updates via Anas Live Traffic (Anas.it) or peruse local notices for estimated completion dates.
