The Autostrada A20 is an autostrada (Italian for "motorway") 183 kilometres (114 mi) long in Italy on the island of Sicily that links the city of Messina to Termini Imerese. The motorway from Messina follows the Tyrrhenian coast until it meets the A19 Palermo-Catania at Buonfornello, a frazione of Termini Imerese. The Autostrada A20, at its eastern-end, is also connected to the A18 Messina-Catania. It is a part of the E45 and E90 European routes.
Although the Autostrada A20 is also called Messina-Palermo, it is necessary to travel for 43 kilometres (27 mi) along the Autostrada A19 Palermo-Catania to reach Palermo. It's a four lane motorway (two lanes for each direction) in its whole length. Consorzio per le Autostrade Siciliane is in charge of toll collection, management, and maintenance of the motorway.[1]
