The Città Alta is the historic and medieval heart of Bergamo, a jewel perched on a hill and entirely enclosed by the majestic Venetian Walls, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Unlike the modern Città Bassa located on the plain, the upper part retains the intact charm of its cobbled streets, period buildings, and historic squares.

From May 4th, 15 months of construction are then planned with major disruptions to the area's traffic. A situation that greatly worries mayors, citizens, and various political forces who have asked Anas and the Region to study countermeasures to limit traffic problems as much as possible, not only in the Brivio and Brianza area, but also in the nearby Valle San Martino along the connections between Lecco and Bergamo. -- Ponte di Brivio, construction site approaches: alternating one-way traffic in time slots is activated https://www.leccotoday.it/attualita/ponte-di-brivio-senso-unico-alternato-fasce-orarie-.html © LeccoToday
