Future Development

A railway tunnel is planned to be built under Corso Grosseto, a major east-west artery in the city, to link the current Turin-Ceres line with Porta Susa station. The duration of the construction is estimated to be 3 years, but will happen in stages to minimise impact on local residents and business owners. Once completed, the 2.7km long tunnel will include its own underground station, which will replace the current Madonna di Campagna station. Two overpasses on Corso Grosseto will be demolished, and replaced by a signalled intersection. In order to reduce traffic, a 400 meter underpass will also be built under Largo Grosseto.[2]

On December 14, 2017, the demolition of the overpasses on Corso Grosseto were halted due to the discovery of asbestos within the structure. The revelation could delay the demolition work by two months.[3]
