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]
