A2 HIGHWAY CLOSURE BETWEEN PONTECAGNANO AND EBOLI: ALTERNATIVE ITINERARIES
The temporary suspension of vehicular traffic - which will last until the end of operations - on the A2 motorway, in both directions, on the Pontecagnano section remains for the operations of dismantling a World War II bomb in the Villani area of the Municipality of Battipaglia. (SA) - Eboli (SA).
However, in order to allow the disposal of 8 km. of tail formed before the station of Eboli, the mandatory exit for vehicles going north to the Contursi Terme station (SA) was anticipated, at km. 46 of the A2; from there the traffic must continue along the SS 691 “Fondo valle del Sele” and the SS7 towards Avellino.
The following are the alternative routes:
- All A2 traffic heading south will be exited at the junction of Pontecagnano nord (SA), to continue along the Salerno ring road towards "Salerno - Zona Industriale" to the "Zona Industriale" exit; then through Via Roberto Wenner, Via Diomide Cioffi and Viale De Luca Andrea, all in the Municipality of Salerno, you will reach the SP 417 "Aversana", to be covered up to the SP 30; this artery must be traveled in the direction of Eboli to return to A2 from the Eboli junction.
- All the traffic of the A2 going north at the Eboli junction (SA) will continue along the SP 30 up to the intersection with the SP 417 "Aversana"; take the SP 417 and proceed in the direction of Salerno and, via the so-called “Lombard ramp”, go up the Salerno ring road and continue towards Pontecagnano to return to A2 at the Pontecagnano Nord junction.
SUSPENSION OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC
Railway traffic will be suspended, from 10.45 to 21.00 between Pontecagnano and Eboli, on the Battipaglia-Potenza line. To limit the inconvenience the line will be usable in two intervals from 16.00 to 16.40 and from 18.30 to 19.30.
During the suspension of rail traffic, trains coming from the North will be limited to the Salerno FS station while those coming from the South to the Agropoli and Eboli railway stations.
