Autostrada Adriatica A14 | Bologna - Ancona | 230 km
The Autostrada "Adriatic" A14, is the second-longest italian highway. It connects Bologna to Taranto, boarding the adriatic coast and unifying historical local roads.
Inaugurated in 1965, it passes through or near Rimini, Riccione, Cesenatico, Cattolica, Pesaro, Ancona, Civitanova, San Benedetto del Tronto, Pescara, Vasto, Termoli, Foggia and Bari.
History:
The first part of the A14 which was opened included the Bologna bypass and the connection to the A1 Motorway (the so-called Autostrada del Sole - "Sun Motorway") and reached Forlì (1966). In 1969 the route reached Ancona, and the approximately 50 km section from Pescara to Lanciano was also opened. In 1973 the motorway was completed from Bologna to Bari (absorbing parts of the A17 near Bari) and the spur for Ravenna was also finished. The extension towards Taranto finally opened in 1975.
