Wow I must say that is one nice freeway, very wide. doesn't seem too busy what time of day was it?

Great motorway!

Amazing :)

love argentina

who said argentina is a develping country? i think it's developed.

Superb Expressways! :eek:

Excellent highways, I didn't expect to see such beautiful highways. Thanks for the photos :okay:

wow, this is really amazing, probably the best-looking highways in Latin America and they're HUGE! Great infrastructure you guys have over there!

great highways in argentinia. a lot better than the germany highways.

Great highways! Some of them are really *wide*. Indeed reminds me of our own highway 401 in Toronto.

Wowwwwwww... Impressive

Argentina is one of the greatest countries int the world. It has a history of fantastic wealth, and in the first 1-2 of the 20th century was one of the most prosperous countries (per capita GDP on par or exceeding the USA), unfortunately, after WWII there proceeded to be a simultaneous takeoff for the USA and a few tragic economic crises for Argentina with excessive Import Substituting Industrialization and excessive misguided state control of the economy, culminating in the greatest tragedy, the 1980's debt crisis. Still, since the last economic crisis, Argentina has had surging economic growth that is quite comparable to China. It is one of the most beautiful countries in the world in terms of nature, cities (like Cordoba), and people (hot women). It is wonderful to see more of this country that is currently resolving many of its tragic economic misfortunes and rising to prominence once more.

It's really impressive! Las autovias tienen muchísimos carriles, es sorprendente! :)

Nice highways of Buenos Aires.. What about if you show us pictures of highways in other cities of Argentina? And also that bridge of Rosario and the tunnel that passes that river, in Santa Fe, I think.

I love Argentina!!!! I love their advanced infastructure!!!! You guys rock!

I love how the highways have arrows...I've seen them in highways in other countries, however, I have yet to see them on any American (interstate) freeway. Oh, I notice that the highways are all asphalt...that may prove to be a problem in the future.

The first pic is really awesome !

^^
What can I say...Indeed fantastic highways...extremely wide!!!
In Greece the widest road (Siggrou Avenue in Athens) has 5 lanes per direction and the normal highways have only 2 or 3 lanes per direction plus the emergency lane...
Congratulations Argentina:banana:

Thanks to all argentinian forumers for this pictures! :okay:

Bienvenidos!

Como siempre fotografiando autopistas. Esta es la gran autopista del sur de Buenos Aires, y merecía fotos como lo hice con otras ahora que pude pasar por ella.

La verdad que está muy buena, pero le critico la poca cantidad de bajadas que tiene para comunicar las poblaciones que atraviesa.

Espero que les guste!

00- Mapita vial.
http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/3717/mapa0zd.jpg

Referencias:
Amarillo: BsAs-La Plata de 4 carriles.
Rojo: La misma de 8 carriles.
Naranja: Ramal de la autopista a Mar del Plata.
Blanco: Autovía 2.
(Donde termina el rojo y comienza el amarillo me faltó dibujar el Acceso Sudeste).
Celeste: Proyectada Autopista Ribereña subterránea próxima a construirse.
Azul: Austopista Arturo Illia.
Negro: Autopista 9 de Julio.
Puntos Negros: Avenida 9 de Julio.
Rosa Fuerte: Autopista 25 de Mayo.
Verde Claro: Autopista Perito Moreno.
Verde Oscuro: Autopista Dellepiane/Ricchieri.
Violeta: Autopista General Paz.
Rosa Claro: Autopista del Camino Negro.
Marrón: Autovía 6.
(Y faltó también la creo 3 de Febrero)
La autopista que está proyectada hacia el sur espero que la hagan, sería una buena arteria.

01- Esto es todavía en la autovía 2. Están haciendo obras para que en esta zona parezca más autopista ya que hay aún algunas poblaciones suburbanas y los cruces son peligrosos.
http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8069/10036022xg.jpg

02- Esto ya es el ramal a Mar del Plata de la Autopista BsAs-La Plata.

03-
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5071/10036091nz.jpg

04- Llegamos a la autopista en sí. Ojalá costruyan ya los 8 carriles proyectados porque el tránsito ya da para eso, aparte que me encantan las grandes autopistas, al menos que sean 6 carriles.

10- Esta foto también ya se las mostré pero acá servía también jaja. Es como acercarse a los downtowns de los norteamericanos. Esta autopista tiene una de las mejores vistas de la ciudad.

There's a place on the south side of Buenos Aires where a motorway more or less dissolves onto a roundabout serving a huge bus station, then turns into a motorway again. Here's a link: http://www.google.com/maphp?hl=en&q=&ie=UTF8&ll=-34.706111,-58.458724&spn=0.004181,0.00942&t=k&z=16&om=0. You'll probably want to zoom in and have a look around.

2001 i visit Argentina and since 2001 is Buenos Aires (with Athens) my favorite City, i am afraid that i never have drive in Argentina, all my trips how i make was by Taxi .
Avenida 9 de Julio, the largest street that i have seen in my live140m wide ! everythink in Argentina is little bit graeter.(exclusive Maradona 1,64)

Will the autopista running along route 3 to Canuelas be extended further south ? It appears on Google Earth that approaching this city, the carriageways split apart, leaving the room for an eventual prolongation of the highway...

Argentina has got a large infrastructure of motorways, the main are around the biggest cities for example Buenos Aires (Capital City) Córdoba, Rosario Mandoza, Tucumán, San Juan, Salta ,etc

Here we have some photos:

wow thanks i wanted to know that too

A short video of National Route 9. The route goes from Buenos Aires to La Quiaca in the border with Bolivia for about 1.900 Km. This section is in Tucuman province in the northwest of Argentina, near San Miguel de Tucumán, the 5th bigger city. It needs to be upgraded to motorway since it has a lot of traffic, especially trucks.

great roads!

hope the system developes even more , and will include motorways not only around large cities but also long distances to distant regions of country

^^ I agree.

Why is it so hard to find high quality pictures on argentinian roads and highways????

I mean, we really have some excellent highways and routes througout the country but most of the pics in this thread are very third-worldish!! :D

For example the north access of Buenos Aires is out of this world... massive highway but still very green and beautiful, surrounded by lovely neighbourhoods, there must be better pictures!!!

I love this great engineering efforts,i never knew it and i have to change my whole opinion about argentina.

Are there any plans to build a through-traffic bypass tunnel under the '9 de Julio' boulevard in Buenos Aires? That looks like one major traffic zoo in those Google images!

:nuts:

I also note the ghost ramps on the freeways a bit to the east, likely to connect to a never-built waterfront freeway to bypass that.

Mike

All these works are plans but political, environmental, etc.. not actually materialize

If the plans exist but must be approved by Congress.

So far none of the several plans for a big motorway network seems to have any chances of being green lighted... I really can't see it happening on the next 10 years at least.

HOWEVER. Beyond the ones you mention, there are a couple of long distance autopistas currently under construction that have several sections already open and that should be finnished this year or early 2011:

- The long long long awaited (planning begun in 1970...) Rosario-Cordoba motorway (400 kms) is almost completed. Only 41 kms remain under contruction, the rest of the motorway is already on service.

- The Mesopotamica Motorway (Zarate-Buenos Aires to Paso de los Libres - Brazil border) is on steady contruction (450 kms). The first 100 kms to Gualeguaychú are already on service.

- Santa Fe - Cordoba motorway is also under contruction (350 kms). 120 kms from Santa Fe city to the the Cordoba province border should be opened by the end of this year.

Since so very little information about argentinian motorways is available in the english forum I will keep checking the argentinian skycraper forum and post updates on this matter here (the spanish language argentinian forum has good info and photos if anyone wants to check it).

Hmm, a lot of googled pics, but are there no road enthusiasts in Argentina that take pictures of the roads themselves?

if any are in the thread of Argentina
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1053447

Random pics without some information are kind of boring after a while... Let's try to put on this thread also usefull information about developments as well as updates on motorway construction just as it is done on all the other country threads. I did a post about the status of motorway construction a couple of days ago. I'm currently spending some weeks in Argentina and taking a lot of pics of highways, I will post them shortly along general info of each road. by the way, I was suprised to see most of the roads on very good conditions, except for certain sections on the suburbus of big cities.
I was able to drive at a somewhat steady 120-130 km-h most of the time, something unexpected if you don't have a motorway.

The argentinian forum is ok, but it's in spanish, so non spanish speakers won't understand it (online translations are quite horrible for the kind of relaxed writing that is used there)... The great thing about this english language forum is that you can get updated information from every country in the world without knowing the local language... (I speak spanish, but if I ask for information on about, let's say, Russia and somebody recomends me to check the russian forum it won't be of much help...)

Let's make an effort and put this thread on the same quality level of the motorway threads from other countries!

Thanks for doing that for months that there was a post

Avenida General Paz (official name Ruta Nacional A001 - National Route A001) is a beltway freeway surrounding the city of Buenos Aires. Roughly following the boundary between the city and Buenos Aires Province, it is one of the few motorways in Argentina that is toll-free. It carries three lanes of traffic in each direction during most of its length, and five lanes between the Pan-American Highway and the Río de la Plata. There are feeder roads in both directions and there are service areas along its length, usually with a gas station and fast food restaurants.


History

Federal law number 2,089 of 1887 established the limits of the city of Buenos Aires, including the Partidos of Belgrano and San José de Flores. In Article 6 it declared that a road was to be built to delimit these with the city of Buenos Aires. Due to the plan of drawing straight lines for the road, an exchange of land was made between the Capital Federal and Buenos Aires Province.

Named after José María Paz, the freeway was designed by Pascual Palazzo and construction was directed by José María Zaballa Carbó. It was the first freeway built in the country. The crossings with the most important avenues were grade-separated; more minor cross-streets were served with traffic circles. The road had four lanes, two on each direction and lateral feeder streets of one lane on each side. The pavement was made of reinforced concrete.

Work was started on June 8, 1937, and the freeway was opened to the public on July 5, 1941. In the 1970s the roundabout on Avenida del Libertador was replaced by an interchange

In 1996 the road was modernized and fully grade-separated, widening the road to three lanes on each direction and two feeder streets with two lanes each. To facilitate traffic it was decided that the colectivo bus lines travelled on these feeder roads, except the express service buses, which stop on these feeders. These streets have speed bumps of limit speed to.

Puedo decir por experiencia que la Argentina probablemente tiene la mejor red vial en América Latina junto con Chile.

Buenas fotos , la sinalizacion ahora es europeo ?

I didn't know any place in Argentina below the mountains got snow.

The (never-ending) construction of the Rosario-Cordoba motorway was finally completed yesterday according to argentinean newspapers.

The final 42 km section (Leones-Tortugas) will be opened on December 22. (the rest of the motorway was already on service)
This 379 km Rosario-Cordoba motorway also serves to give a full motorway link between Buenos Aires (argentinean capital and its main city) and Cordoba (the second largest city in Argentinina with over 1,5 millons on its metropolitan area).

It's a toll motorway with 2 central toll plazas on its run. The tolls cost around US$ 1.- each. The motorway runs paralel to the old national road but some kms away in order to avoid all towns keeping a straight course. The old route was lacking a lot of town bypasses if compared to the average argentine road, luckly now it will be used mostly for local trafic only.

That's interesting that the main length of the road is concrete but the bridge is paved with asphalt - in Virginia and much of the rest of the United States, roads are mainly asphalt, with concrete bridges.

I am amazed that it took so long since authorities have been planning that link since the 70's. :nuts:

Yep, but the first section opened only 11 years ago (both ends near Córdoba and Rosario). Actual construction time was pretty fast.

Autovía Santa Fe - Paraná

The new 2x2 Autovía between Santa Fe and Paraná will open on December 30th. This road already existed as a 2-lane highway, but is now widened to a 2x2 expressway. The 2.4 km tunnel under the Rio Paraná will remain 2-laned for now.

^^
I think that the photo is from... Spain.

DELETED TO FIX PICS PROBLEM

Yes! what a lame newpaper, Chriszwolle put the photo the argentinean newspaper used... but it was not a photo of the actual motorway but just a random pic that must had googled the graphic designer of the newspaper... and yes, it's an spanish motorway.

In regards to the Santa Fe - Parana autovia even being a link between 2 capital cities it's more of a very urban expressway than anything else, as both cities are very close, there are a lot of towns along the route and most people living there think of them as a single metropolitan area. There are plans to build a real motorway to completely by pass Santa Fe and Parana by the south of both cities (linking Santo Tome and La Picasa) but it's not yet approved.

------------------
------------------

In other argentinean news, this is the list of upcoming openings of motorways:
(information and photos come from the argentinean Skycrapercity forum, local newspapers and/or Firestone Atlas de Rutas 2010. All dates should be considered tentative. All of them are conversions to 2x2 of old 1x1 national routes)

- Villa Mercedes - Arizona: 256 kms ---> Late 2011
(((It will continue to the south, what google maps incorrectly shows as National Road 148 from Villa Mercedes to Villa del Merlo, but that nowdays it's actually a full motorway and renamed Provincial Motorway 55, the picture below it's from this motorway)))http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/45516576.jpg

--------------

Trelew - Puerto Madryn: 71 kms -----> at some point of 2011
(((It will incluide also the Trelew bypass and continue 12 kms north beyond Puerto Madryn. It will be the southernmost motorway in the word. -There is actually a short (26 km) motorway entering Rio Gallegos, but it's more urban in nature. Pic below shows contruction progress on early 2010)))
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/45517242.jpg

--------------

Santa Fe/Santo Tome - San Francisco/Frontera : 136 kms -----> May 2011
(((according to local newspapers it's over 85% finished and althought it's a bit delayed from the original Dec 2010 opening date, the construction speed was quite good: 3 years. Pic below show construction works on late 2009)))
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/45518724.jpg

--------------

Zarate/Buenos Aires - Paso de los Libres/Brazil border: 450 kms -----> Late 2011 - Mid 2012
(((the first 100 kms Zarate - Gualeguaychú are already on service. Heavy construction on the rest, including some complex by passes to cities and towns. Pic below of one of them )))
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/45519222.jpg


----------

[B]Also on the works:

Parana - Concordia/Uruguay Border : 230 kms -----> Late 2013
(((status: tender proposals opened on Sept 2010, decision pending)))

Cipoletti-Neuquen-Plottier-Arroyito metro area bypass: 50 kms aprox ---> 2011-2012
(((under construction)))

Those photos suggest that it's dual carriageway rather than full-flex motorway. The existing entry of Rio Gallegos is exactly that, too. Nonetheless, it's great to see some pictures of Argentine motorways. It's a country I'd love to add to my website about motorway signage across the world.

Yes, that's correct. technically speaking all them are dual carriageway, upgrades of existing highways. However argentinean traffic density and scattered population end up on the advantages of a full motorway being very limited, since you can drive fast and safely on the dualcarrigeways, which usually have a 130 km/h speed limit. Even most of the 1x1 highways have little traffic and were built avoiding towns and with non sharp turns, so you can drive fast and safely most of the time (speed limit on them is usually 110 km/h -- although the average car goes at 130-140 km/h---).

(That said, allow me to state that of course there are still several pretty dangerous highways with way too much traffic on which upgrades to 2x2 are extremely necesary. But they made only 5-10% of the total amount).

Full-flex long distance motorways there are only the following in Argentina: Buenos Aires-Rosario, Rosario-Santa Fe and Cordoba-Rosario. There is also a great number of urban and semi urban motorways on a radio of 100 kms of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.

Fully agree that there is no need to upgrade many roads in rural Argentina beyond dual carriageway. If an upgrade to dual carriageway is at all needed.

The point about technically being a motorway is more important for the bragging rights as to who has the World's southernmost motorway. Around Dunedin, New Zealand, there is a formal motorway that is more to the South than Trelew - Puerto Madryn. But it is an urban route only, much like the dual carriageway in Rio Gallegos. A good contender for the Southernmost continuous route at motorway standard may be CH-5 running up to Puerto Montt.

In other words, it's all about the definitions you use :-)

Maybe this map(a) can help fill the gaps, its from 2008
Just outline all those projects in study, under construction and finished.

Oh, just a 14.6 MB map :D

Great quality though.

Is the Buenos Aires - Mar del Plata motorway a real Autopista or more like an expressway?

^^ It's mostly just a divided highway/dual carriageway with a short stretch of autopista near the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

Hi people, I can put this map, its about the perfect model of highways in Argentina, its a law in project (delayed), so it's not the actual state of highways but how it will be in the future.

Actually most of that highways are common roads of 2 ways

Some of this highways finished, these are:
half AU9 (Buenos Aires-Córdoba) - completed will link Córdoba to the north with Bolivia
AU2 (Buenos Aires-Mar del Plata)
half AU19 (Santa Fe-Córdoba)
half of AU7 (Buenos Aires-Mendoza-Santiago de Chile)
and AU14 called Mercosur highway is in construction finished next year -2012-) Buenos Aires-Uruguayana (Brazil direct connection)

The main connections are planned to be highways in the next years, and the following are AU8, AU22, AU34 (or AU9 north)

Total highways pojected: 15.533 kms.

http://www.autopistasinteligentes.org/-export/Mapa-central.gif

Also, there are a road, not highway because its phisically impossible, National Route Nº40 (marked as red line in the map) connecting with the country's northernmost city (La Quiaca, Jujuy province, borderline with Bolivia), with the southern most Río Gallegos, travelling in parallel way with chain mountains Los Andes. About 5.200 Kms. Map here (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruta_Nacional_40_%28Argentina%29)

In the moment which all highways will be finnished, that day will be the moment in which the country start the way of the real development.
Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brasil will be sucsessfully connected and the zone can be enhanced significantly :cheers:

This project has been under study for at least 20 years now and was never even been a govermental proposal but just a private one... However from time to time always someone posts it on forums and confuses people.

I don't think it will be ever approved. Let's better focus the thread on actual projects and constructions. Some of these motorways are extremely unlikely to be built over our lifetimes (such as the one on Patagonia south of Trelew) and others not on the plan are already under construction (Parana-Concordia) or finished (Villa Mercedes - Arizona -opened this week-)... So it really makes no sense to post it. It's not really helpful beyond what you said: imagining what would be an ideal motorway network for Argentina in order to develop the country.

The 14.6 M map posted by Nex is good, I will mark motorways under constrution and tendered later today on it.

Just as promised the status of argentininean motorway network as of today

The map I made has very up to date information, including motorways opened this week just like Villa Mercedes - Arizona (256 km) and/or just tendered as Cordoba-San Francisco and Parana-Concordia.

Color guides:

BLUE -----> full motorway with grade separations.

WHITE/PINK ----> 2x2 dual carriage expressway with some grade separations and some same level crossings. No sharp turns, and mostly 130 km/h speed limit.

including motorways opened this week just like Villa Mercedes - Arizona (256 km)

Can you tell us some more about that? What's the official name / number of this Autopista? And what are the specs? According to diariouno this road cost 512 million pesos (that's € 340 000 per kilometer, for reference) which sounds incredibly cheap to me, even taking the very favorable terrain into account.

The amount is correct. According to argentinean newspapers the average amount of motorway building in Argentina it's currently around AR$ 3 millon / km. But somehow San Luis Province (the goverment that built that motorway -Argentina it's a federal state-) is able to construct motorways for just around AR$ 2 millons/ km. This secondary province with a population of 430.000 has an incredible 800 km of motorways, almost 40% of the total argentinean interurban motorway network according to some sources, (Argentina has a population of 40 millon).

In regards to the price it must be taken into account that these kind of motorways don't have hard shoulders (or shoulders at all...) and sometimes the "motorway building" consist on just building a paralel highway to the existing one and adding some bridges and city bypasses...

The name of the Villa Mercedes - Arizona motorway is "Autopista por la paz del mundo ("For World Peace" Motorway... :nuts: ).
It's actually an upgrade from an existing highway, the RP 55 (each province in Argentina has their own RP (Ruta Provincial - provincial road) and it's likely that other provinces have an RP 55 too... and it's hard to tell one from another... :bash: In signs it's likely to be called Autopista Provincial 55.

It's a 2x2 dual carriage expressway with some grade crossings, 130 km/h speed limit (not enforced, 150-160 km/h it's a common speed on argentinean motorways) and some level crossings. No toll. The main reason for building this motorway were to favor tourism in San Luis area and to serve as a alternative for trucks and cars going south (Neuquen area, Patagonia area) from Cordoba area (the second largest argentinean city).

MrAkumana,
why you consider with pink colour autopista Nº7, you only have a sanitary control stop in Mendoza limit with San Luis (Desaguadero), but from Mendoza to Villa Mercedes I don't remember any level crossing or anything interfering the main road.

About the map it's correct, I visited last month the 4 central provinces (Buenos Aires, Córdoba, San Luis and Mendoza) and I confirm the map and his road status.

Awesome, this thread should get a lot more attention, and especially: more pictures!

Where can we find 8 laned highways in Argentina? Just in Mendoza and B.A, right?

I'm not sure if they have 8 laned highways in Mendoza... I'd say 6. Remember Argentina's a very centralized country (not the most although in South America).

I agree we should take care of this thread, but the fact is that it isn't easy to find great photos... I'll try to help it a bit more.

Please, please, please let's try to not post just excessive photos without information because it's something that kills the thread and something from what this thread seems to suffer frequently... let's put a balanced mix of news and photos as on any other thread!

And trying to do what I preach, these are the motorway news since my last post (I will update the map a few weeks from now):


____NEW OPENINGS SINCE LAST POST: ____


- AUTOVIA RN14 ZARATE (outer Buenos Aires metro area)-PASO DE LOS LIBRES (Brazil border) ----------> (dual carriage express way upgrade of the existing road): already on service from Zarate to Concepcion del Uruguay (211 Km). Works continue and are very advanced on the remaining section.

http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/61969592.jpg



- AUTOVIA RN 19 SANTA FE - SAN FRANCISCO ----------> (dual carriage express way upgrade of the existing road): 115 km (out of 140) already on service. Pending section are basically around Santa fe entrance and around San Francisco entrance. Moreover now it seems to be political will to execute the motorway upgrade of the San Francisco - Cordoba section too and it might be tendered on 2012.

http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/61969598.jpg




_____NEW MOTORWAYS TENDERED OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION: ___


- AUTOVIA RN 8 PILAR (outer Buenos Aires metro area) - PERGAMINO -------->( 174 Km long dual carriage express way upgrade of the existing road): already tendered.


- AUTOVIA RN 7 LUJAN (outer Buenos Aires metro area) - SAN ANDRES DE GILES -------->(37 km long dual carriage express way upgrade of the existing road): works begun on June 2011.


-AUTOVIA RN 18 CONCORDIA (Uruguay border)- PARANA----------> (270 km long dual carriage express way upgrade of the existing road): Contracts signed on March 2011. Work in progress.


- AUTOVIA RN3 COMODORO RIVADAVIA - CALETA OLIVIA-----------> (77 km long dual carriage express way upgrade of the existing road): This incredible southern expressway on a remote but somewhat populated area of Patagonia is actually under heavy construction! They are even doing a couple of completely new sections (instead of upgrades from the existing road) in order to avoid some sharp turns areas. The short Rada Tilly -Comodoro Rivadavia (10 km) section is already on service since 2007. Works for the remaining 68 km should be completed by 2013.

-

One good thing on all works it's that even when they don't have all crossing grade separated, there seems to be always an increasing number of them. All significant intersections are grade separated on all dual carriageways upgrades opened or under construction.


In regards to urban and semi urban motorways they are working on:

- RN9 : 2x2 upgrade on the San Salvador de Jujuy - Yala section (15 km)

- RN16: 2x2 upgrade on the Resistencia - Corrientes section (20 km)

- Autopista Peron : 90 km new motorway to serve as outer ring /by pass for Buenos Aires metro area (it will continue the Buen Ayre Motorway up to La Plata city passing though the less urban areas in ring like style)


In regards to upgrades of existing motorways:

There are serious talks for a 3x3 upgrade to the existing Buenos Aires-Rosario motorway (nowdays 222 km are 2x2 and 80 km from 3x3 to 6x6)

Please, please, please let's try to not post just excessive photos without information because it's something that kills the thread and something from what this thread seems to suffer frequently... let's put a balanced mix of news and photos as on any other thread!

Yep, like the Brazil thread. Some people see an internet forum like this as a showoff section with lots of photos of their country, however, it is mainly a discussion forum, where photos illustrate developments or discussions. Or may induce discussion.

It would be nice if new autovía / autopista openings were posted here. And other developments of course. :)

Are Argentinian autovías always completely grade-separated? What makes them different from Autopistas? Tolls?

I will do my best to try to keep updated this thread with at least the new openings and new tenders. It's something I've been trying over the last couple of years, but not hard enough...

Are Argentinean autovías always completely grade-separated? What makes them different from Autopistas? Tolls?

People and press in Argentina usually call any dual carriageway "autopista" or "autovia" randomly. However if you check government papers, they are correctly divided and classified as on any other country:

Autopista (motorway) -----> They are as the standard meaning of the word implies: completely grade separated, newly built as option to an existing road, few entrances and exits, gas stations inside the motorway course etc.
The are several on the Buenos Aires metro area but just the following interurban ones :
- Buenos Aires - Rosario
- Rosario - Santa Fe
- Rosario - Cordoba
They all have some toll sections and some free sections.


Autovia (dual carriageway) ------> most of them are basically upgrades of existing highways. They just build a second highway right next to the existing one in order to separate inbound and outbound traffic. That's why they are known in Argentina also as as "duplications". The way to deal with the crossings is analyzed and decided on a case-by-case basis. If the traffic justifies it and the money is available they make grade separation. If there's not enough traffic or there are spending limitations they don't, and you can have anything from a roundabout to a red light or an exit on the left side....
Just like I said, lately it seems they are building a huge amount of grade separations on each autovia.
Autovias might have some toll sections or might be completely free. Most of them have at least a couple of tolls on its main course.

Yep, like the Brazil thread. Some people see an internet forum like this as a showoff section with lots of photos of their country, however, it is mainly a discussion forum, where photos illustrate developments or discussions. Or may induce discussion.

It would be nice if new autovía / autopista openings were posted here. And other developments of course. :)

You're a moderator, of course, but speaking only for myself I'm more interested in photos than technical discussion (my interest in roads is mainly geographical - I don't know anything or care about the chemical composition of paving materials, say). As long as there's some indication of where they are.

EDITED TO ADD: I actually happened on SSC looking for pix of the Périphérique.

Just my two cents.

:cheers:

:cheers:

But that is in fact one of the main problems with random excessive photos being posted. Take the later posts by Snowland. They at least give some information about location (contrary to what happened on the previous pages of the thread), but yet still the information is way too vague. i.e. San Luis province is a wide area. It has over 800 km of motorways. It would be much more useful to have info on what exactly each picture represents and which motorway it belongs to, and if there are road works photos, then to comment what they are building...

Just the way it works on all the other threads.

Otherwise is more or less the same as to go to google and write "argentinean motorways" on the images section, or check the Argentinean skycrapercity sub-forums for a non-spanish speaker and just see the pics.

I really don't want to offend anyone, specially the ones who surely post photos with the best intentions and good willing. But my humble opinion is that an exaggerate amount of pics without information not only deviates completely from the purpose of an Skycrapercity forum but it also saturates the screen and ram memory of the people navigating and finally bore them, thus accomplishing the exact opposite reaction to what the original poster surely wanted.

Ok, I'll try to put more information and not to saturate the page... But, please, let's keep this thread alive.

That information is wrong. RN 9 is still RN 9 and it's still the very same 1x1 highway it always has been.

2x2 Rosario-Cordoba motorway was built from zero and runs some km parallel to RN 9 but avoiding the cities and towns RN 9 goes thorough. You can check that even on Google maps... (although more than 1 year after the full opening it still figures as incomplete on google maps).

Some pages ago I made a brief about the opening and you can see the course it follows:

I actually figured out it was the ex RN 9 in the Argentine forum. But I've never been there. Sorry.

Why Argentina are changing the american signs to europe signs ?? :bash:

^^ To my knowledge Argentina always had european traffic signs.

^^ To my knowledge Argentina always had european traffic signs.


No, they followed the brazilian standard.

Just as promised the status of argentininean motorway network as of today

The map I made has very up to date information.

Color guides:

BLUE ----->Full motorway with grade separations.

DARK BLUE ----> 2x2 dual carriage expressway (upgrades of existing 1x1 highways) with some grade separations and some same level crossings.
No sharp turns, and mostly 130 km/h speed limit.

GREEN -----> motorway or 2x2 dual carriage expressway under construction

YELLOW -----> motorway or 2x2 dual carriage expressway with tender in process


Note: this is all real information as of today, no plans or political promises. Check the full map as some motorways are very far apart from one another and on some unexpected places.

No, they followed the brazilian standard.

WTF?!?!?!?!?! American standard!

Te falto entre viedma y patagones una pequeña autovia y el puente en multitrocha

It's way too short to put it on the map...Viedma and Patagones are basically the same city divided by a River, there's no real significant distance between them.

Anyway, anything you can find missing or wrong I welcome your comments! :)
