history

The infrastructure project started on January 31, 1968. The basis was the agreement between ANAS and Infrasud, a subsidiary of the IRI group Italstat at the time and today's Tangenziale di Napoli SpA, as well as the signing of a 33-year contract which covers the construction and regulated the operation of the route. The project was funded 70% directly by IRI, 15% by Società Meridionale di Elettricità, which was also part of IRI at the time, and 15% by Banco di Napoli .

The first section was opened on July 8, 1972 between Pozzuoli and Fuorigrotta , followed by the line to Capodichino on November 16, 1975. The openings of the interchanges Corso Malta and Capodimonte in 1976 and 1977 followed.

Toll and operator

The revenue from the toll is around 6 million euros per month, with an average of 233,646 vehicles using the A56 every day in 2017.
