On the day of its inauguration, it featured 113 bridges and viaducts, 572 overpasses, and 38 tunnels, requiring the excavation of nearly 54 million cubic meters of material. Over the decades, road transport has further strengthened its central role. In Italy, both passenger and freight transport primarily rely on road networks, with figures fluctuating between 80% and 90%. Mobility has transformed significantly over the years, and the Autostrade per l'Italia Group has set as its strategic priorities making it safer, more digitalized, more decarbonized, more inclusive, and therefore more sustainable.
