course

The A8 begins in the north of Milan , the capital of Lombardy, in Via Certosa. After a few kilometers you will reach the junction with the A4 motorway . From here it leads north through the Po plain to the junction of the second section of the Autostrada dei Laghi , the A9 , which leads to Como and beyond to Switzerland .

The A8 runs near the town of Busto Arsizio to Gallarate , where a motorway branch (ital. Diramazione) connects the A8 with the A26 motorway. Here it turns north and reaches its end point at Varese , near the lake of the same name . The continuation is the SS 233 , which leads to the Swiss border, and the SS 394 , which runs to Lake Maggiore .

toll

The A8 is a toll road, but unlike most motorways, it has a different toll system . The amount of the toll is usually determined by the distance traveled and the road used and the vehicle class. The toll is paid in motorway stations when leaving the motorway.

However, this motorway is managed as an open system (Italian: sistema aperto ), i.e. H. At the two toll stations, regardless of the distance covered, only a lump sum is charged.
