Significant work on the widening of the A3 Naples-Pompei-Salerno freeway, financed by ANAS and contracted to Società Autostrade Meridionali, was undertaken between 1998 and 2002. Major interventions included:

Widening to three lanes in each direction in the section between km 17+568 and km 19+269, affecting the Pompei Scafati exits and the section from Scafati to Torre Annunziata.
The construction of a new road connection between Via Sant'Elena and Via Scappi in the City of Torre del Greco.

These works have improved traffic flow and safety on a strategic roadway built in the 1970s and subject to high traffic volumes. Archaeological finds were discovered during the excavations and secured in cooperation with the Superintendence of Environmental and Archaeological Heritage. In addition, existing vegetation, such as centuries-old Mediterranean pines, was protected.
