Route 8 is a national route of Uruguay. In 1975, it was assigned the name Brigadier General Juan Antonio Lavalleja, a national hero of Uruguay. It connects Montevideo with Aceguá in the northeast.
The distance notation along Route 5 uses the same Kilometre Zero reference as Routes 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and IB, which is the Pillar of Peace of Plaza de Cagancha in the Centro of Montevideo. The length of the road, from its beginning at Km. 13 to its end at Km. 455 is 442 kilometres (275 mi) in length.
Starting from Tres Cruces in Montevideo, Avenida 8 de Octubre runs in a northeast direction and turns into Camino Maldonado in Flor de Maroñas, at the junction with (and south end of) Route 7. Camino Maldonado continues in a northeast direction and tuns into Route 8 in Punta de Rieles, 13 kilometres from Kilometre Zero.
These are the populated places Route 8 passes through, as well as its main junctions with other National Roads.
