On the 23.12.2015 the Sparvo tunnel had its opening ceremony. It is part of the 32km La Quercia - Aglio section of the Apennine Road Bypass to Highway A1. In this section motorists will be able to choose between driving along the new highway or the existing one. The main parts which have been opened are the 8.7km Base Tunnel, the 2.5km Sparvo and the 3.8km Val di Sambro tunnels which are all twin tube tunnels. These tunnels will reduce driving time for motorists by at least 15 minutes.
