As of November 2019 Via dell'Inviolatella Salaria remains blocked by a construction site at the hairpin turn of Via della Maremma, around halfway there. Because of the hill's slope on the other side and the breadth of the construction site you should not turn there onto Via della Maremma, but rather skirt the fencing of the construction site to its left (facing it as you approach). Past a thicket the fencing gives way and you can continue on Via dell'Inviolatella Salaria to the footbridge. On the other side of the footbridge there is a clear path to the highway, where the fence has been smashed down for easy jumping. From there you can walk along the highway or embankment to the station.
Also as of November 2019, the restaurant at this station is closed for renovations of some kind. The gas station remains open, and there are still bathrooms and a coffee machine, but in the experience of [[user:movethathoof|Movethathoof]] many people pull in, see the restaurant is closed, and zoom right out again.
'''Problem''': If you don't find the way, or if the way is blocked (e.g. in March 2014, by a massive building site), it is really really hard to get to the spot. There are swamps, loads of fences, private property, tremendously overgrown ramps and murderous blackberry bushes. Local people don't seem to know anything about the little footbridge, so you need to be quite determined.
