Description
The municipalities of Scilla and Bagnara are crossed by some ten kilometres of Italy’s Autostrada del Sole (A3 Salerno - Reggio Calabria Highway), constructed, for the most part, in the 1960s and ‘70s and featuring numerous imposing and, for their time, audacious infrastructures (viaducts and tunnels). This stretch of highway is set to be decommissioned following the construction of a new highway, composed largely of tunnels, designed to ensure the functional modernization and safety of this route. The new section of highway also incorporates the controversial plan for the Strait of Messina Bridge.
Thanks to a series of elegant viaducts designed by Nervi, Zorzi and Morandi, particular sections of the original route offer impressive views of the terraced, and in many cases, virgin rural landscape to one side, and of the sea, the Calabrian coast, the Strait of Messina, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands on the other.
The objective of the “Solar Park South” international competition is to stimulate concrete ideas and revolutionary proposals for the reuse of the soon to be decommissioned highway sections between Scilla and Bagnara. Participants are invited to develop their ideas-projects starting from the basic proposal to:
- Dedicate one carriageway (south-north) to the creation of a space for testing the production of energy using renewable sources, the search for and successive application of new sustainable technologies, and the implementation of measures focused on integrating the Park within the surrounding territory through the upgrading, fruition and valorisation of landscape;
- Reuse the other carriageway (north-south) as an alternative to the National Highway n. 18, which is both obsolete and fragile, in order to ensure better connections between Scilla and Bagnara, and between the latter communities and the surrounding mountainous and rural territory, as strongly requested by local inhabitants, through the reuse of the service roads and technical areas related to the construction of the new highway.
