Roma appoint new chief of stadium project following Souloukou’s resignation | OneFootball

Starting Monday, October 7, technicians commissioned by Roma have returned to work in the previously closed areas to complete geological surveys and archaeological excavations.

Drills and excavators are in use, with the work expected to be completed within two to three weeks, weather permitting, writes Il Messaggero.

After the end of this phase, Roma will move on to drafting the final project for the stadium.

Meanwhile, Nicholas Gancikoff, an expert in the field and a figure already involved in previous meetings with the municipal administration, has been called to closely follow the development of the project.

Gancikoff, who has an economics background in the United States and a long experience in dealing with complex Italian bureaucratic issues, joins the team to accelerate the resolution of problems related to the project.

The first major post-summer technical meeting was held on Wednesday, organized by the Urban Planning department of the Campidoglio. Representatives of municipal mobility, Ferrovie dello Stato, and Roma technicians also participated.

One of the main themes was the improvement of rail mobility, with the idea of ​​arranging additional regional trains during match days.

This could encourage the use of public transport, thus reducing car traffic around the stadium area.

Another crucial point concerns the construction of the cycle/pedestrian walkway on Via Livorno, a fundamental work not only for the stadium project, but also for the new layout of the Tiburtina station, currently under review.

This intervention is considered mandatory, since the walkway represents a key element for the public interest of the project.

However, the implications on rail traffic are worrying.

The construction of the walkway would in fact require a blocking of rail traffic for at least 10-15 days, as indicated by Rfi in its requirements. This topic will be further explored in the next meetings.
