History

A24 and A25, 50 years of highways. The Cadore Viaduct

Fifty years ago marked the inauguration of one of the public works that helped shorten distances in Central Italy: on July 10, 1969, the first section of the A24 highway was opened, between the Rome Ring Road – Tivoli – Castel Madama. A few months later, on September 14, the Torano – L’Aquila section was opened to traffic.
This shortened the distances between the Capital and the centers of Abruzzo, between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic Sea, which is why the A24 was called the “Two Seas” highway.

Between the years ’67-’68, work on the Cadore Viaduct between Tivoli and Castel Madama on the A24.

We thank Luigi Santolamazza for his collaboration.
