Autostrada A56 (Italy)

The Autostrada A56, more commonly known as the Tangenziale di Napoli (“Naples Bypass”), is a tolled motorway bypassing Naples, Italy. From junction 14 with the SS7 near Arco Felice and Pozzuoli to the interchange with the A1 the route has a total length of 20.2 km. The section from the airport (junction 3) to the A1 is toll free.

The road was inaugurated as late as 1975. It passes along the hillsides by the northern outskirts of central Naples; sometimes in tunnels through the steep hills and sometimes across impressive viaducts passing high above older structures. The road is one of the most congested motorways in Italy, traffic levels possibly rivaling those of the A4 through Milan and the A8 near the Milan barrier toll plaza.
