The Autostrada A29 or Autostrada del Sale ("Salt motorway") is an autostrada (Italian for "motorway") 115.7 kilometres (71.9 mi) long in Italy on the island of Sicily that links Palermo to Mazara del Vallo. It is a part of the E90 and E933 European routes.
The motorway is also called Autostrada del Sale ("Salt Motorway") because one of its branches ends at the salt pans between Marsala and Trapani. It's a four-lane motorway in its whole length. Autostrada A29 is entirely toll-free and is managed by ANAS.
A segment of the motorway near Capaci was the site of the fatal bombing on Italian magistrate Giovanni Falcone and his wife Francesca Morvillo by the Sicilian Mafia.[1]
