History [edit]
Building works begun in 19th century, under the Kingdom of Charles Felix of Sardinia, the road followed the route of the ancient Roman road Turris Lybissonis-Caralis.
The infrastructure was modernized under fascism, and in the 1970s was rebuilt, becoming a Superstrada (Dual carriageway), however it is still a second category extra-urban road, and the speed limit is 90 km/h, except for some stretches where it reaches 110 km/h.
