Soon the largest Colosseum's restoration in the past 70 years will start. It's supposed to last till 2015 and will be divided in different phases.
The first will consist in cleaning the building with jet spray, mapping the state of preservation of the amphitheater, removing the 'ugly ' metal fencing on the ground floor arches and replacing with new railing. The northern and southern prospect will be restored too.

The next phase will deal with the undergrounds area and the monument's interior. A service centre is projected to be created in the coliseum square.
An important issue under study is to reduce the traffic impact around the coliseum by creating a large pedestrian area around it. It's a very difficult point to copy with as via dei fori imperiali is the major road of the area.
