The strada statale 18 "Tirrena Inferiore" (SS 18) is an Italian state road, connecting Campania and Calabria.
It is one of most important as it is also one of the longest on Southern-Italy, considering that it follows the Tyrrhenian coast, from Salerno to Reggio di Calabria.
The road was created in 1928 with the following route: "Naples - Torre Annunziata - Salerno - Battipaglia - Rutino - Vallo - Torre Orsaia - Sapri - Paola - Sant’Eufemia - Nicastro - Monteleone - Reggio Calabria." The road was called "Tirrena Inferiore", from the name of the Tyrrhenian Sea. In 1953 the route was modified.
