Autostrada BreBeMi PPP

The new infrastructure should attract part of the long distance traffic currently travelling along the existing A4 motorway and thus is expected to relieve congestion along the corridor Milano-Bergamo-Brescia. It is expected to result in substantial travel time savings as well as a reduction in vehicle operating costs. The Project is expected to have some air quality and greenhouse gas benefits.
