The Vial Autopista–Artemisa (Motorway–Artemisa Road), is a 4 lane road connecting the A4 motorway to the city of Artemisa in Cuba. Locally, it is known as the Vial al Autopista (Road to the Motorway).
History
The road project started in 2012 and the contruction phase began in 2015. In order to make the road, the Empresa de Vialidad del Gobierno (Government Highway Company) invested 34,000,000 CUP for the project. The road was set to make travel time from Havana to Artemisa less, originally going from the A4 to the Road of El Jobo (Highway 2-23) to the Carretera Central to finally arrive at the city of Artemisa, with the new road being safer due to wider lanes and a median and faster due to a higher speed limit, with the route going from 25 minutes to just 10 minutes.
Later, the road was set to be inaugurated the on the 11 year anniversary of Artemisa Province, on 9 January, 2022, which was congratulated by Cuban prime minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz.
Route
The road is 4 lanes in total with a median in the middle, with its only paved junctions being with the Autopista A4 and the Carretera Central, and the rest being dirt roads. The road is on Exit "Artemisa" of the A4, which is currently an at-grade junction, but there is a proposal for an interchange.
