Plans For Future Navigability of The Channel
There is an ongoing project to improve the navigability of the channel, intended exclusively for freight, excluding the use of tourist boating on the channel.
The navigability is developed to promote the connection between the dock in the port of Livorno and commercial activities at Guasticce and Vicarello, upstream at a distance of 13 kilometers (8.1 mi). It will use the current channel's connection to the port of Livorno, primarily through excavation of the channel to ensure a width of about 40 meters (130 ft) and a depth of at least 3.5 meters (11 ft), so as to allow the passage of boats and barges larger to the present.
The project also includes the raising of the deck of the bridge of the Aurelia road (Pond) and the construction of docks for loading and unloading of goods at Guasticce and Vicarello.
