"In January 2021, the Municipality of Genoa submitted a funding request to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport for access to resources allocated to Rapid Mass Transit with Fixed Systems as part of the "Fund for the revival of investments by Central State Administrations and the development of the Country". The projects presented concern interventions on the Metro line (extension to Rivarolo, completion of the Martinez/Terralba station and completion of the Corvetto station), the skytram in Val Bisagno and the construction of a "Monorail People Mover" to connect the C. Colombo Airport with the Erzelli Science and Technology Park.
This latter infrastructure, for which preliminary design has been finalized, will be a crucial intervention for improving the functionality of the Erzelli node within city mobility, facilitating the connection of the Science Hub, the interchange with railway and local public transport networks, also taking into account the large flows of users that will be generated by the new developments being planned in the area."
