The Autostrada RA15 and the connecting motorways

The Autostrada RA15, also known as Raccordo autostradale 15 (RA 15; "Motorway connection 1") or Tangenziale di Catania ("Catania ring road") or Catania's By Pass (West), is an autostrada (Italian for "motorway") 23.3 kilometres (14.5 mi) long in Italy to contour Catania in Sicily, running from north to south, west of the city. It is managed by ANAS.[1] It is a part of the E45 European route. The Raccordo autostradale 15 was opened on 28 May 1985 and was called T09 until the 1990s.

By Pass (West)

[edit]

The RA15 is connected to the A18 to Messina, the A19 to Palermo and to all of the major national roads of Eastern Sicily. Since 2009 it is also linked to the A CT-SR to Syracuse.

By Pass (East)

[edit]

The initial project had on the plans a second service road going through the city called By Pass East (today's A18dir) but due to the highly urbanized situation of Catania the project has never been completed leaving the road to terminate in the northern part of the city.
In the southern part of Catania, in July 2010 was completed another 5,0 km of service road called "Asse attrezzato", part of the initial project of the 1970s. This service road connects the motorway A19 to Palermo and the RA 15 to the southern part of the city. This second stretch of service road is not classified as motorway.
