The work carried out by Acea Ato 2 is strategic and necessary to strengthen and ensure the availability of Rome’s future water supply

 

Work on the “Adduttrice Ottavia-Trionfale” (“Ottavia-Trionfale Adduction Pipeline”) project is ongoing. The project, with a total value of over €94 million, is partly funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) through the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, and provides for the construction of a new connection line from the Ottavia Water Center to the new Water Center known as “Pineta Sacchetti”, for a total length of 5.2 km.

The works, which are proceeding at full speed, involve in this phase the laying of a pipeline along Via Sebastiano Vinci. To allow the positioning of the last section near the intersection with Via Cesare Castiglioni, starting from Thursday 16 April, Via Sebastiano Vinci will be closed in the section between Piazza di Santa Maria della Pietà and Via Cesare Castiglioni, while the section between Via Cesare Castiglioni and Via Carlo Livi will be passable only in the direction of the latter. Additionally, Via Cesare Castiglioni will be passable only in the direction coming from Via di Torrevecchia, while for those taking Via Carlo Livi, turning left at the intersection with Via Sebastiano Vinci will be mandatory. Finally, in Piazza Santa Maria della Pietà, vehicles coming from Via Trionfale/S.F. Neri Hospital must turn left in the direction of Via Franco Basaglia/Via Trionfale. Road signs for alternative routes are already in place on the indicated streets.

Regarding vehicle parking, a 24-hour prohibition has been established on Via Cesare Castiglioni up to the public car park entrance and on Via Cesare Lombroso at the intersection with Via di Torrevecchia.

The completion of the works is expected, barring unforeseen circumstances, by the end of June 2026.

Acea Ato 2’s intervention will make it possible to enhance the transport of water resources from the main aqueducts to the network pipelines, which serve the city centre and all the districts to the west of Rome, up to the coastline, for a catchment area of approximately one million people. The work is strategic and necessary to strengthen and ensure the availability of Rome’s future water supply.
