Inspection of the Tanaro riverbank works in Asti
Date of the event:
On 11 November 2026 the mayor of Asti Maurizio Rasero and deputy mayor for public works Stefania Morra inspect the site where the bank of the Tanaro river is being reinforced, to take stock of progress on the works and the next stages of the project [1].
The works
The hydraulic safety works have already affected the Borbore stream, where the recalibration of the riverbed has, up to that date, removed about 7,000 cubic metres of settled material; about 9,000 cubic metres remain to be removed. The extracted material is reused nearby to raise and strengthen the safety margin of the nearby Tanaro riverbank [1].
On the days of the inspection the contractor is working on the right bank of the river. From 16 November 2026, for about two months, the walkway between the Parco del Tanaro and the corso Savona bridge is closed, to allow the raising of the brick-faced wall running along the LungoTanaro promenade [1].
Statements
Mayor Rasero describes the safety of the area as "a priority we work on continuously," noting that the works cause temporary disruption for the sake of making the city safer from flood risk. The mayor and deputy mayor thank AIPO and the Piedmont Region for their cooperation, as well as the designers, site managers and workers involved in the project [1].
