Construction of first 5.8 km line from Fiera-Staveco will begin with the first 3.5 km section Fiera-Stazione Centrale , and then Stazione Centrale-Staveco. The tunnel will begin at the Michelino car park at the beginning of the line in Fiera to Piazza XX Settembre near the central station. Work is expected to commence in spring 2005. Preliminary design of Line 2 between the airport and the central station includes 6 km of tunnel and eight stations. The line will cross the Reno and Navile rivers, and intersect with Line 1 at Fiera-Staveco. Government approval took place circa August, 2003. Plans for a 2 line tramway also exist, but the writer may have been confusing a tramway with the metro. Official Home Page  Suburban Railway SFM, Sistema Ferroviario Metropolitano
