ABSTRACT
The Santa Maria twin tunnels are part of the new motorway route ‘SS 106 Jonica’, under construction on behalf of ANAS S.p.A.. The motorway crosses the South of Italy running along the Jonic Sea, between the towns of Taranto and Reggio Calabria. The tunnels take the name from the Santa Maria hill, in the Catanzaro countryside, through which they are excavated.
