Naples, March 8, 2026 – Drivers using the A1 Milan-Naples motorway should prepare for a series of night closures in the coming days. These closures are necessary to facilitate crucial paving and expansion joint restoration work, aiming to maintain the safety and efficiency of this vital transportation artery.
Scheduled Closures and Affected Sections
The specific section of interest is located between the A3 Naples-Pompei-Salerno junction and Naples Centro Direzionale, heading towards Rome. The closures are scheduled for the following dates and times:
- Tuesday, March 10: From 00:00 to 06:00
- Thursday, March 12: From 00:00 to 06:00
- Friday, March 13: From 00:00 to 06:00
These overnight hours have been selected to minimize disruption to daytime traffic, though commuters are still advised to plan accordingly.
Alternative Routes for Affected Drivers
For motorists traveling from Naples or Salerno towards Rome during the closure periods, an alternative route has been designated. Drivers can utilize the SS162 Dir and then access the motorway at the Naples Centro Direzionale interchange. This alternative aims to provide a viable path for those whose journeys are affected by the roadworks.
Ensuring Road Safety and Infrastructure Integrity
The planned works are part of a broader maintenance program designed to ensure the long-term integrity and safety of the A1 Milan-Naples motorway. Paving and expansion joint restoration are critical for preventing structural damage, enhancing driving comfort, and reducing the risk of accidents caused by deteriorating road surfaces.
