Pedalaria is a new cycle path linking Leonardo da Vinci airport to the town of Fiumicino.
The new cycle path is just over 2 miles long
The new path for pedestrians and cyclists is part of the Dpcm Giubileo 2025 projects and is entirely financed by Aeroporti di Roma which has invested €1.8 million in the project, The path starts from Rome's main airport, is just over two miles long, and joins the existing cycle path in the airport town on the Viale del Lago di Traiano avenue. The new cycle path is a collaboration between ADR and the municipal administration led by Mayor Mario Baccini. “Pedalaria will offer passengers, airport workers and the citizens of Fiumicino the opportunity to enjoy a unique experience in areas of great natural beauty and archaeological interest, including the Ports of Claudius and Trajan which are close to the airport.”
Innovative materials and Mediterranean plants
This is the most recent sustainability project from ADR, with the green footprint guaranteed by several factors, such as the use of innovative draining materials that minimize environmental impact, drainage channels for water management as well as the installation of Mediterranean plants from all five continents along the last stretch of the route towards Terminal 3. “With the realization of Pedalaria we elevate our commitment to the promotion of a soft, sustainable and functional form of mobility for thousands of passengers and citizens, as well as for the many workers living near the airport,- said Marco Troncone, CEO of ADR. -This new path is a further demonstration of our commitment to invest in the sustainable development of our 5-star airport, for the benefit of the environment, the people living near our airport and the territory that hosts us.”
Fiumicino airport has 50,000 employees
“Pedalaria is a spectacular and truly extraordinary project, - said Roberto Gualtieri, extraordinary commissioner for the Jubilee 2025 and mayor of Rome. -Connecting the city of Fiumicino to the airport, it takes in such extraordinary sites as the imperial Ports of Claudius and Trajan. It has both a tourist function and a sustainable mobility function for passengers and the many workers who will be able to travel to work comfortably, safely and sustainably in this great “city” of 50,000 employees. Many of them come from Fiumicino, and allowing them to travel by bicycle is very important environmentally.”
