The city of Bergamo is gearing up for an exciting clash as Atalanta prepares to host Lazio on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at the Gewiss Stadium. Kickoff is set for 18:00, and with the match expected to draw a significant crowd, local authorities have implemented a series of traffic measures to ensure smooth access for fans and minimize disruptions.
In anticipation of the influx of supporters, parking restrictions will be in effect starting at 13:00 on match day and will last until two hours after the final whistle. Specifically, parking will be prohibited on both sides of Viale Giulio Cesare, between Via Milazzo and Rotonda Goisis, as well as in Piazzale dello Sport, immediately following the intersection with Via Caffaro. These measures are crucial to facilitate the movement of emergency services and authorized personnel.
Moreover, from midnight on April 6, parking will be banned on both sides of Via Fossoli. This prohibition will apply to all vehicles, except for those belonging to authorized personnel, public transport, media representatives, Atalanta staff, and guests. Transit will also be restricted for the same categories of vehicles, ensuring that the area remains accessible only to those with proper clearance.
For fans and local residents, additional parking bans will commence at 08:00 on Sunday in Piazzale Goisis, where only authorized vehicles and law enforcement will be permitted. The restrictions will extend further, as from 13:00, parking will also be prohibited on Viale Giulio Cesare, specifically between Via Dorando Petri and Via Milazzo, which is the stadium side, with exceptions made for emergency vehicles.
As the match approaches, the city is taking further steps to manage traffic effectively. From 13:00 onwards, parking will be prohibited on both sides of several key streets, including Viale Giulio Cesare (between Piazzale Oberdan and Via Milazzo), Largo dello Sport, Via Nedo Nadi, and Via Ponte Pietra, particularly near loading and unloading areas. This will also apply to Via Dorando Petri, Via Celestini (between Via Dorando Petri and Via Milazzo), Piazzale Olimpiadi, and Via Marzabotto (between Via Crescenzi and Via Fossoli). Again, only authorized vehicles and law enforcement will be allowed in these areas.
Additional restrictions include a specific ban on parking in Via Marzabotto (between numbers 1 and 13), which is designated for law enforcement vehicles only. In the market area of Via Spino, parking will be prohibited, with exceptions made for fans' vehicles and ATB transport. These measures aim to ensure that fans can arrive at the stadium without hassle while maintaining order in the surrounding areas.
In terms of transit, significant restrictions will also be in place. Starting from 13:00 and lasting until further notice, vehicular transit will be prohibited on Viale Giulio Cesare (between Piazzale Oberdan and Via Legrenzi), Via del Lazzaretto (between Viale Giulio Cesare and Via Baioni), and Piazzale Goisis, again with exceptions for authorized vehicles.
Moreover, during the loading and unloading of away fans arriving from the train station, vehicular transit will be prohibited on Via Gavazzeni (between Via Europa and Via San Giovanni Bosco). This careful orchestration of traffic measures is designed to ensure that the match day experience is enjoyable for both home and away fans while minimizing the potential for congestion and confusion.
As the fans of Lazio and Atalanta prepare for this highly anticipated match, the city of Bergamo is doing everything it can to facilitate a smooth and enjoyable experience for all attendees. With strict adherence to these traffic regulations, local authorities aim to create a safe environment that allows fans to focus on the excitement of the game.
