Autostrada A24 (Italy)

Common card · No. 217699

The Autostrada A24, or Strada dei Parchi ("Parks motorway") is an autostrada (Italian for "motorway") 166 kilometres (103 mi) long in Italy located in the regions of Lazio and Abruzzo connecting Rome to Teramo, near the Adriatic Sea. Starting from the Grande Raccordo Anulare (A90 or GRA – the Rome orbital motorway), the A24 runs broadly north-east across the Abruzzese Apennine Mountains. Between L'Aquila and Teramo it passes through the 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) Gran Sasso Tunnel. The private company Strada dei Parchi S.p.A. currently manages the motorway. The name "Parks Motorway" comes from the fact that the Maiella National Park, the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park and the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park can be reached from this motorway. It is a part of the E80 European route. Near the Lazio and Abruzzo border the Autostrada A25 splits from the A24 and reaches the Adriatic Coast at Pescara. It is constructed in an almost completely hilly and mountainous territory...
