Once completed, the new highway will be approximately 230 km (143 miles) in distance and will save travelers about 4 hours in travel time--currently, it takes travelers 6 to 8 hours through rugged terrain.
The new tollway will consist of 55 miles of 63 tunnels, viaducts, and 115 impressive bridges, such as Puente Baluarte, which will be the highest in North America. The bridge span 1,280 feet above the Baluarte River.
Below is a video of the project presented in Spanish. Enjoy.
