Autopista A1 (Cuba)


The road network of Cuba consists of 60,858 kilometres (37,815 mi) of roads, of which 29,820 kilometres (18,530 mi) are paved and 31,038 kilometres (19,286 mi) are unpaved. The Caribbean country counts also 654 kilometres (406 mi) of motorways (autopistas).

Cuba counts 8 toll-free expressways named Autopistas, 7 of them centralized in the city of Havana and connected to each other by the Havana Ring Road, with the exception of the motorway to Mariel. The carriageway is divided and the lanes in each direction go from 2 to 4. Maximum speed limit is 100 km/h. In the Isla de la Juventud, the dual carriageway from Nueva Gerona to La Fe is classified as motorway.

The principal motorways A1 and A4, running from the west to the east of the island and partly unbuilt (most of A1 sections), are the only one numbered and shortened with "A". As well as the Carretera Central covers the entire island, they are projected to perform the same function as motorways.

The route from Matanzas to Varadero of the Vía Blanca is the only toll road between Cuban motorways. The other autopistas have short routes and run from Havana to its suburban towns in Artemisa and Mayabeque provinces.

Other sections are under construction and planned.

Cuba has a complex network of single carriageway highways, most of them numbered, named Carreteras. The most important one is the Carretera Central (CC, Central Road, code N-1), a west-east highway spanning the length of the island of Cuba from the municipality of Sandino, in Pinar del Río Province, to the one of Baracoa, in Guantánamo Province, for a total length of 1,435 km.
