This transformative project, inaugurated in the presence of Mayor Roberto Dipiazza and regional officials, marks a significant step forward in revitalizing the city’s historic district, offering enhanced connectivity between the museum quarter and downtown Trieste.
In a grand ceremony this afternoon, attended by Mayor Roberto Dipiazza, Deputy Mayor Serena Tonel, Councilor for Real Estate Policy Elisa Lodi, Councilor for Financial Policies Everest Bertoli, Councilor for Territorial Policies Michele Babuder, President of the City Council Francesco di Paola Panteca, and Regional Councilor for Friuli-Venezia Giulia Pierpaolo Roberti, the long-awaited Porto Vecchio – Porto Vivo Bypass was officially opened to the public. This significant infrastructure project, connecting the museum district to the heart of Trieste at Largo Santos, marks a milestone in the city’s urban development.

Michele Babuder, Councilor for Territorial Policies, highlighted the meticulous planning involved in the project, including the planting of numerous tree species and the integration of sustainable infrastructure. The project, spanning approximately 20,000 square meters, involved careful coordination between multiple stakeholders to ensure minimal disruption and maximum benefit for the community.
In addition to enhancing connectivity, the bypass project prioritized sustainability and green spaces, with extensive landscaping and pedestrian-friendly features. The meticulous attention to detail, from the choice of materials to the design of public spaces, reflects the commitment to creating a vibrant and livable urban environment.
As Trieste embraces this new chapter in its urban development, the Porto Vecchio – Porto Vivo Bypass stands as a testament to the city’s ambition and vision for the future. With its blend of heritage preservation and forward-thinking design, it symbolizes a bold step towards a more inclusive and sustainable urban future.
