A protest by freight hauliers has caused disruption on the A30 Caserta-Salerno motorway, with presences reported at the Nola tollbooth and roadblocks near Avellino Est.

According to Il Mattino, drivers maintained a nighttime presence at the Nola tollbooth as the protest continued. Roadblocks were also reported near the Avellino Est tollbooth, while traffic was described as paralysed near the Mercato San Severino barrier in the direction of Caserta.

Disruption around Avellino Est and the Variante SS7bis

Local reporting from Orticalab says lorry drivers occupied part of the Variante SS7bis near Avellino Est, an important road connection in Irpinia. Protesters told the outlet they intended to remain in place overnight.

The same local account describes the demonstration as peaceful. Protesters said they were initially allowing cars to pass, while warning that disruption could increase if their concerns went unanswered.

Rising costs and awaited talks

Protesters linked the mobilisation to rising operating costs and said they were awaiting discussions with national transport authorities. The available sources do not provide a verified final outcome of talks with the transport minister, and the precise duration or end time of the blockades was not established in the retrieved material.

What travellers should know

Three disruption points were reported:

  • Nola tollbooth on the A30 Caserta-Salerno
  • Avellino Est and the nearby Variante SS7bis
  • Mercato San Severino barrier, with reported effects toward Caserta

Conditions may have changed since these events were reported. Drivers planning to use the A30, the Avellino Est junction, or the Variante SS7bis should check current conditions before travelling.

CCISS is the official channel identified in the research for updated traffic information and bulletins. Its homepage retrieved during the research did not independently confirm the Nola, Avellino Est, or Mercato San Severino incidents, so it should be used for live updates rather than as confirmation of the earlier reported blockades.
