Webuild and Pizzarotti have signed a EUR1.26 billion (US$1.32 billion) contract to build sections B2 and C of the Pedemontana Lombarda Highway in Italy.

The project work includes designing and construction of 30 km of highway and related routes: Section B2 between Lentate Sul Seveso and Cesano Maderno, and Section C between Cesano Maderno and Milan’s A51 eastern beltway.

The new highway sections intend to have the technology to accommodate self-driving vehicles and diagnose road-surface performance. The project is expected to be completed for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games generating 2.500 direct and indirect jobs.
