According to ANSA Liguria, the mayor of Genoa, Silvia Salis, said that a metro construction site has restarted in the city after 14 years. She added that no new metro station has been opened in Genoa during that period.
What changed
Salis linked the restart to a change of contractor, saying the city had moved forward with the takeover by a new consortium. According to the mayor, a new metro station is expected to open in 2028. She said she had just come from the construction site, which she described as the work that will finally bring a new station into service.
Context of the announcement
The remarks were made on the sidelines of the presentation of a photo book, “GEnova. L'Energia della città”, produced by Axpo Italia with photographer Stefano Guindani and with the collaboration of journalist Luca Ubaldeschi. The event was not focused on transport, and the source gives no further details on the metro project itself.
