In a second motorway advisory released today, Autostrade per l’Italia confirmed that the A10 stretch between Savona and Albisola (direction Genoa) will shut overnight on 17–18 November and again on 20–21 November, each time from 22:00 to 06:00. The works, focused on resurfacing critical coastal sections, coincide with scheduled diversions on the A6 Torino-Savona, raising the prospect of bottlenecks on the parallel SS1 Aurelia. The A10 is a lifeline for container traffic moving between the Port of Genoa and manufacturing clusters in Piedmont and Lombardy. Freight forwarders hauling time-sensitive cargo such as automotive components are warning clients of potential delivery delays or surcharge claims for extended driver hours. Autostrade advises motorists to exit at Savona, follow the Aurelia and re-enter at Albisola. For southbound traffic, the closure also makes the ‘Legino Sud’ parking area inaccessible, which could impact mandatory rest breaks for drivers under EU Regulation 561/2006. Companies should therefore update tachograph scheduling to avoid infringements. Given Liguria’s chronic infrastructure fragility—compounded by the 2018 Morandi Bridge collapse—stakeholders welcome the preventive approach but call for better coordination to avoid overlapping works on parallel arteries. The regional haulage association FIAP is pressing for an integrated works calendar accessible via API to improve supply-chain visibility.
