The Autostrada A14 or Autostrada Adriatica ("Adriatic motorway") is the second-longest[1] (743.4 kilometres (461.9 mi)) autostrada (Italian for "motorway") in Italy located in the regions of Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Abruzzo, Molise and Apulia. It is a part of the E45, E55 and E843 European routes.
Its northern end is Bologna (where it branches off the Autostrada A1) and its southern ending is at Taranto. The motorway stretches along the entire Adriatic coast. Inaugurated in 1965, it connects to Rimini, Riccione, Cattolica, Pesaro, Ancona, Civitanova Marche, San Benedetto del Tronto, Pescara, Vasto, Termoli, Foggia and Bari.
History
[edit]The first part of the A14 opened to traffic was Bologna–Forlì (73 km) in 1966.[2] The A14 reached the Rimini Sud junction on 13 August 1966;[3] Riccione on 15 May 1968;[4] and Cattolica on 22 July 1968.[5]
In 1969, it reached Ancona, and the approximately 50-km section in Abruzzo was also opened.[6] In 1973 the motorway was completed from Bologna to Bari (absorbing parts of A17), as well as the spur towards Ravenna.[7] The final extension towards Taranto was opened in 1975.[8]
