Editing Bastia (section)

===Road transport===
There are three main access roads to Bastia:
* from the South:  by the Route nationale N193. A portion of about 23&nbsp;km is 2X2 lanes between Arena and [[Vescovato, Haute-Corse|Vescovato]] since the inauguration of the "expressway Borgo-Vescovato" in January 2013. This is the major road axis into the Bastia region because it connects the city of Bastia directly or indirectly to all other Corsican towns (Ajaccio, [[Corte, Haute-Corse|Corte]], [[Porto-Vecchio]], [[Calvi, Haute-Corse|Calvi]] etc.) while also passing through the main cities of the peripheral region of Bastia such as [[Furiani]], [[Biguglia]], [[Borgo, Haute-Corse|Borgo]], and [[Lucciana]] where [[Bastia Poretta Airport]] is located. This road is also called the ''Waterfront Route'' from the Montesoro district because it runs along the seafront up to the Old Port Tunnel which runs under the citadel and the Old Port. This road ultimately ends at Ajaccio.
* from the West:, by the D81, a road which goes to [[Saint-Florent, Haute-Corse|Saint-Florent]] via the Col de Teghime.
* from the North: by the D80, which goes in a loop around Cap Corse (the road between Bastia and Pietranera was opened in 1829).
