AS Roma’s new Stadio della Roma secures backing of independent technical report

AS Roma Vice-President, Mauro Baldissoni, has welcomed last week’s news that the club’s Stadio della Roma stadium project has received the backing of an independent technical report – declaring that the time has come for the Serie A club to be allowed to begin construction on the project.

On Tuesday morning, the Mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, confirmed that the independent Politecnico di Torino, who had been asked to check out the various transport issues involved with the proposed new stadium, had issued a positive assessment of the club’s plans.

Baldissoni said:

It is about time the city has the opportunity to see the results of all these discussions and all this investment and that Roma can finally begin construction of the stadium.

The Vice-President spoke with asroma.com to describe what Tuesday’s news indicates – and where the Stadio della Roma project now stands in the final approval process.

What happened at Campidoglio?

“Today the independent technical report that the Mayor requested from the Politecnico di Torino was publicly released. It is not something that has any legal bearing, because it is outside of the administrative procedure, but it serves an crucial purpose: to address any of the doubts that surrounded the viability of the traffic studies included in the submitted project. So, first and foremost, it was crucial politically, a helpful reference point for the administration as they confirm the final approval of the project.”

What were the crucial points from the report?

“The Politecnico di Torino confirmed that the studies included in our project presentation, in terms of managing the traffic and transport around the site of the new stadium, were all completed accurately and professionally. Some alternative options have been proposed for the traffic around the site, because of the everyday mobility issues that affect the city, which will see a lot more of a focus on rail transport. Around Tor di Valle there are two major train lines and, through the reinforcement and enhancement of those – which will be financied partially through public funds and partly through the project owners – it will be possible to make sure that fans can reach the stadium comfortably.”

What does it all indicate for AS Roma?

“It underlines the fact that the stadium has been planned with the most up-to-date and modern infrastructure choices available to us. We have invested a lot of time, effort and money in Camiseta Liverpool FC it – maybe to an extent that has never been seen before, for a construction project of this type.

“From the very beginning, the club’s target has been to build a modern stadium that can be put to use by club and bring benefits to the entire city; the most advanced stadium possible, anticipating the future to make sure it is not obsolete nearly before it has even been opened. Today is another confirmation that there are no Camiseta AS Monaco fears in that regard from a mobility perspective either.”

What are the next steps now?

“All that remains now is to go through the few impressive technical and administrative steps to complete the final approval. first of those will be the approval of the ‘urban variation’. We are continuing to work closely with the administration on that. everything has been discussed, there are no contentious points still to be resolved. All that remains is to address a couple of technical issues, which will then allow a date to be set for the final vote on the variation.

“Then, once that is done, the project can be passed on to Lazio Regione, who will issue the final building permits. We expect that will conclude everything as far as the approval process goes, and hopefully as soon as possible.

“It is about time the city got the opportunity to see the results of all these discussions and all this investment, and that Roma can finally begin construction of the stadium.”
