History

The realization of the Autostrada del Sole is primarily the result of the will of the Italian government, the national economy moving again in the 1950s. At the same time the highway should the divergent economies of Italy dovetail closely and favor as a powerful clamp the contradictory unification process of Italy. The emphatic name of the transport connection plays in this socio-political and economic component as well as to the tourist promises of modern mobility.

Before the construction of this highway was needed about two days to transport goods and goods from Milan to Naples. The construction of a route that allowed driving of high ( for that time ) speeds, travel time shortened considerably.

The construction of the Autostrada del Sole took place in several stages. The shares of each section was as follows:

The following work was performed:

• A total of 15 million working days
• 52 million cubic meters of earth and rock; excavated on the site outdoors
• 1.8 million cubic meters of earth and rock; excavated from the tunnel construction sites
• Five million cubic meters of concrete and masonry
• 16 million square meters of floor
• 853 bridges, viaducts and similar work
• 2500 shafts
• 572 overpasses
• 35 tunnel with two tubes
• 3 tunnel with a tube

The construction of the A1 was led by Fedele Cova.

Section Milan -Bologna

This section performs the two Italian regions of Lombardy and Emilia -Romagna.

Starting point of the A1

The A1 had its origin first at Piazzale Corvetto di Milano. Today, however, applies the extension of the ringroad east of Milan ( A51; tangenziale est di Milano ) as the starting point of the A1, which thus is in the southeast of Milan. These two sections parallel to each other, until they unite in the area of San Donato Milanese.

Outcome

In the vicinity of San Giuliano Milanese opens the western ring road of Milan ( A50; tangenziale Ovest di Milano ) in the A1. It crosses the Po valley and leads, parallel to Ämilianische street ( Via Emilia), six lanes in the cities of Lodi, Piacenza, Reggio Emilia and Modena over. Between -Sud Milano and Lodi ( 14.6 km ) and between Piacenza and Modena Sud (length: 97.9 kilometers ) is the eight-lane ( four lanes in each direction) widening of the A1 in planning ..

Modena - Bologna

The section Modena -Bologna is the busiest section in all of Italy, so this is also an eight lanes and partially developed also zehnspurig at Bologna. In the north of Modena, the A1 connection to Brenner motorway, which is thus inflow artery from northern and central Europe. In Bologna also branch the ring road of Bologna and the A14, which leads to the Adriatic coast, from. From Bologna also branches off the A13 towards Padua and Venice.

Section Bologna - Florence

This four-lane section, which is also called " the Apennine section" ( tratto appenninico ), crosses the Tosco - Emiliano Apennines and is therefore on its course many bridges and tunnels.

Variant di Valico

The section between Bologna and Florence must daily record 89,000 vehicles, of which about 25,000 trucks and buses. The currently available range includes tight curves and outdated tunnels and bridges.

The route will be extended such that at least three lanes in each direction are available. The 2013 -to-implement 62.5 km long variant di Valico includes not only the intermittent six-lane expansion of inventory Street a 37- kilometer detour route between La Quercia and Barberino di Mugello near the existing - in this section hardly removable - motorway. The total cost amounted to 3.518 billion euros.

Casalecchio - Sasso Marconi

Between Casalecchio and Sasso Marconi, the line was expanded to six lanes already to 4.1 kilometers ( contract section 0). The construction ended in November 2009 and saw next to the six-lane expansion and the construction of numerous bridges and underpasses as well as the construction of noise barriers in the area of ​​Casalecchio ago. The total cost amounted to 79.8 million euros.

Sasso Marconi - La Quercia

This section describes the existing route was expanded to six lanes at about 20 kilometers. In addition, the Sasso Marconi was rebuilt. On 9 June 2007, the route including the newly built Galleria Gardelletta was (840 meters, direction North ) opened.

• The construction of the alternative route between La Quercia and Aglio, in addition to the already existing motorway route. It is planned that both lines remain in operation and the traffic is distributed over the two routes.
• Between Barberino Aglio and a new motorway route with three lanes will be built for the traffic towards the south, the existing route is four lanes available to traffic heading north available.
• Construction of two new interchanges ( Badia and Poggiolino ). The new direction of the junction Barberino has already been completed ( Opened in May 2007).

Six-lane expansion Barberino - Incisa

This section connects directly to the variant di Valico. In this section there is an average traffic volume of 111,000 vehicles, including 32,000 trucks. Between junctions Firenze Nord and Firenze Sud in addition to transit even the city traffic happen, because the A1 forms a ring road (city bypass ) of Florence here. Here is a six-lane ( three lanes in each direction) extensions are planned. The construction work on the 58.5 km long section provide for the establishment of 16 new tunnels and 40 kilometers of noise barriers. The total cost of the construction project amounted to nearly two billion euros.

This portion may in turn be divided into three smaller sections:

Barberino - Firenze Nord

This section describes the construction of a new route towards the south is planned with three lanes. In the current route the traffic to the north are four lanes are available. This project is currently being examined by the ANAS. The completion date is scheduled for 2017.

In this 22 -kilometer-long, very strongly affected by traffic jams section, the highway from 2005 to 2013 at three ( direction Rome) or three or four lanes has been enhanced.

Between March 2002 and July 2004, the ANAS has reviewed and approved the project. The route Firenze Nord -Firenze Scandicci was released towards the south on 21 December 2006 for traffic heading north on April 5, 2007. The release of the new section of Firenze Scandicci Firenze Sud took place on August 3, 2011. Soon as the route south of Scandicci is passed through the tunnel, the south has emerged a new three-lane track, the north is used the old highway to four lanes.

On this 19 -kilometer section of an extension to three or four lanes in each direction is planned.

Section Florence-Rome

Up to Orte ( Latium) the highway is four lanes, although expansion measures for a third lane in each direction between Florence and Incisa have already been initiated. These are currently in the planning phase. Between places and the junction Roma / North A1 was expanded to six lanes, including the construction of a new tunnel ( Galleria di Nazzano, 337 m). Construction was completed in 2002, 2007, the opening of the Galleria di Nazzano. In addition, four kilometers of noise barriers were erected. The total cost for this 37.8 km long section amount to 191 million euros.

The highway leads in this section Arezzo past, happened the Chiana valley and crosses several times the Tiber. Near the village of Fiano Romano branches off a four-lane road to the ring road of Rome ( A90/GRA, GRA ), while the A1 itself still six lanes leading past the capital in the direction of Naples. Between the motorway junction Roma / North and the node with the A24, the construction of a new junction ( Guidonia ) is planned.

Rome-Naples section

In San Cesareo, a town south of Rome, the A1 reunited coming with another four-lane road from Rome and continues to Naples. This six-lane section, which takes in the towns of Frosinone and Caserta, among other things, characterized by an extremely straightforward route. He was until 1988 the term A2, as he was not connected directly to date with the rest of the A1. In the north of Naples, the A1 eventually merges with the A3.

In this section, the eight-lane expansion between San Cesareo and Colle Ferro (16,6 km) and between Colle Ferro and Frosinone (31,3 km ) planned. These are currently in the planning phase.
