Webuild has begun construction on the most significant section of the Ragusa–Catania motorway, a key corridor for road transport along the island’s eastern coast. This road project, commissioned by ANAS (FS Italiane Group), joins seven others for the doubling of the Palermo–Catania–Messina high-capacity railway line. This railway infrastructure initiative, carried out on behalf of RFI (FS Italiane Group), aims to drastically reduce travel times between Sicily’s main cities. It includes 200 km of new railway line for which Webuild will deploy 19 large tunnel boring machines. 

On Lot 1 of the Ragusa–Catania motorway, work is underway on the foundations and vertical structures of the Vallone delle Coste Viaduct. This reinforced concrete viaduct is the most significant structure along the route and will connect the provinces of Ragusa, Catania, and Syracuse. The project will improve travel times for both people and goods, while also enhancing road safety and overall service quality.
