A1 Reopens Near Orte After Two Crashes as Queues Clear by Late Morning

Diversions via SS2 Cassia helped manage traffic during the clearance operations.

Overview

  • The section toward Rome between Orte and the Rome‑north junction reopened around 09:30 after a five‑car rear‑end collision at km 525.
  • Queues toward Rome peaked at about 11 kilometers mid‑morning before ending by roughly 11:30, with traffic moving on all available lanes.
  • Earlier between Magliano Sabina and Orte toward Florence, a crash involving a heavy vehicle and a car set the truck on fire, and the stretch reopened shortly before 08:00 with around two kilometers of queue.
  • Medical and mechanical rescue teams, firefighters, highway police patrols and Autostrade’s 5th trunk personnel handled firefighting, recovery and traffic control at the scenes.
  • Separately at km 709 between Capua and Caianello, overnight works restored three lanes after a GPL tanker explosion, while the Teano East and West service areas and the emergency lane remain closed as a precaution.
