km of rebuilding/modernization was then due to be completed. A number of new junctions were also to be constructed, in some cases to service certain towns with no direct access at present. In May 2015 then prime minister Renzi indicated that the upgrade programme would be terminated by 2016. By March 2016 68 km remained to be done. Plans to upgrade 58 km were abandoned and changed from Motorway Construction projects to "Maintenance" Sections to be 'maintained' in future are: Morano Calabro – Firmo, from km 185 + 000 to km 206 + 500: 21 km *Former Macrolotto 3.4 Cosenza – Altilia, from km 259 + 700 to km 286: 26 km *Former Macrolottos 4.1 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 Pizzo Calabro – S.Onofrio, from km 337 + 800 to km 348 + 600: 11 km *Former Macrolotto 5 (originally scheduled for completion 2012) Maintenance will involve pavement and structural renewal and is projected to cost €1bn between 2016 and 2021 instead of the €3bn that ANAS projected as the cost of fully upgrading the 3 remaining sections. These total 58 km of the new length of 435 km from Salerno to Campo Calabria and do not include the final 10 km from Campo Calabria to Reggio Calabria which remains as constructed in the 1970s. also abandoned were a number of planned junctions. The motorway standard road will terminate at Campo Calabro approximately 10 km to the north of Reggio Calabria, and the remaining 10 km of old A3 into Reggio Calabria will not be upgraded to full motorway standards. Major Cities A3 goes through many cities, that are Salerno, Nocera inferiore, Pompei, Torre Annuziata, Torre del Greco, Ercolano, Portici, San Giorgo a Cremano, and Naples.
