Design of the two new sections of the Pedemontana Lombarda Highway in northern Italy. Section B2 will be 12.7 kilometres long between Lentate sul Seveso and Cesano Maderno, while Section C will be 20 kilometres between Cesano Maderno and Milan’s A51 eastern beltway.
The Pedemontana Lombarda motorway is a road system with a total length of approximately 157 kilometers of which 67 kilometers of highways, 20 kilometers of ring roads and 70 kilometers of local roads. The alignment of the infrastructure is classified as an urban highway, category A, by Ministerial Decree No. 6792 dated November 5th, 2001. In section B2 the alignment crosses the terrain of the former “dei Giovi” State Highway for about 9.5 km up to the municipality of Cesano Maderno following a north-south route. The roadbed continues with two lanes plus emergency lane in both directions until the municipality of Meda where it widens to three lanes plus emergency lane in each direction. Section C proceeds to the east for approximately 16.5 kilometers, connecting with the eastern bypass road (A51) in the municipality of Vimercate. The Cesano Maderno, Desio, Macherio, Arcore interchanges and the junction with the eastern bypass road are located in the section. The roadbed is composed of three lanes plus emergency lane in each direction up to and including the Arcore interchange. The section is in cutting and has approximately 6.5 km of artificial tunnels. The infrastructure of the section with three lanes plus emergency lane in each direction is about 18.5 kilometers long.
