Strata statale 36 is a major road in Lombardia. The road begins in Milan and passes through such cities as Monza, Lecco and runs further north and includes the famous Spluga pass to the Swiss border. They have been upgrading this major through fare with tunnels under Lecco and tunnels in Monza, generally making it a super strata.
At present, they are upgrading the section that runs inland from Lake Como which has created a detour for all traffic through the coastal towns along Lake Como, ours being one of them. The strata has a considerable traffic flow of more than 100,000 vehicles a day, of which, more than 10% are heavy vehicles. Not sure about the little vehicles, but I am sure that all the trucks are being diverted through our town and its tiny little roads. We went to Bellano, one town up the train line and it was chaos. All the usual local traffic was being stopped, so the convoys of trucks could pass through.
John stood on the balcony the other day and counted the passing parade.....15 mins......55 trucks.....and this goes on day AND night, so we found out last night, with some sounding their horn as they round the corner
