The Autopista AP-68 (also AP-68, Autopista Vasco-Aragonesa or Autopista del Ebro) is a Spanish autopista route. It connects Zaragoza with Bilbao via Tudela, Calahorra and Logroño. The entirety of the route forms the entirety of the European route E804.
European Route E 804 is a part of the International E-road Network. It begins in Bilbao, Spain, passes by Logroño, and ends in Zaragoza, following the path of the Autopista/Autovia 68.
It has junctions with Autovía A-2, Autovía A-15, Autovía A-1 and ends at the Autovía A-8.
The highway begins in link 22 of the AP-8 (E-70) and ends on link 318 of the A-2 (E-90) (Autovía del Nordeste). Built between 1974 and 1979 this highway was formerly known as A-68. It is about 295 km long.
In 2000, the José María Aznar government, the PP, extended the highway concession that expired in 2011 up to 2026, making its recovery impossible, as it was strongly criticized by the Aragon regions and the Basque Country, then governed by PSOE-Aragon and PNV, respectively. In exchange for the extension of the concession, certain tolls became cheaper. The closing date of the award is November 10, 2026.
