New partnership for Grussetu Prugna Purtichju

Paul Bozzi, mayor of Grussetu Prugna Purtichju, and Jean-Félix Acquaviva, president of the Corsica Transport Office, signed a partnership agreement aimed at developing the city center and improving the crossing of Purtichju. This agreement marks a significant step in ongoing efforts that began in 2012.

City priorities outlined

The municipality, through its mayor, has outlined key priorities for the commune, including improving and securing traffic, creating a comfortable living environment for residents, and enhancing the experience for visitors through better tourism infrastructure. Landscaped areas are also part of the plan to improve the city's appeal.

Infrastructure improvements planned

The redevelopment of the former RD 55 road, co-financed by the city and the Corsican Development Council (CdC), will include new free parking spaces, pedestrian pathways, cycle paths, and the extension of side streets. These changes aim to make the area more accessible and user-friendly for both pedestrians and cyclists.

Connecting Aiacciu and Purtichju

With this partnership, the connection between Aiacciu and Purtichju by foot or by bicycle will soon be possible. The project also includes the construction of a compensation basin larger than 12,000 cubic meters, which supports the city’s flood prevention and risk reduction policies.

Support for the partnership

Paul Bozzi emphasized the importance of the compensation basin and the broader flood prevention strategy. Jean-Félix Acquaviva praised the co-investment and the coordinated work with the city, highlighting the benefits of this collaborative approach to infrastructure development.
