The State Highway 4-112, also known as the of Villa Clara-Cienfuegos Road, Esperanza-Cienfuegos Road, and the 112 Road (locally) is a Cuban north-south highway which links the village of Esperanza and the Carretera Central, with the Autopista A1 to the city of Cienfuegos and the Circuito Sur. The road is considered the interprovincial road of Cienfuegos Province, [1] with it being the only road to directly connect it to the Carretera Central.
History
editThe Camino Real of Cienfuegos – Santa Clara became the first road connecting the 2 cities, with the 4–112 being the same general, from Cienfuegos to Cruces to Villa Clara, route. [2] The first part of the road on the Avienda 26 de julio was the former Camino Real, which turned into the 4–112, and then continues onto the former Camino a Ranchuelo.[3]
Route
editThe 4-112 starts at the Carretera Central in Esperanza, nearby provincial capital, Santa Clara. It continues south, going over the Autopista Nacional, to Ranchuelo and Carlos Caraballo in Villa Clara Province. The road continues straight to the villages of Marta Abreu and Cruces in the municipality of Cruces, Espartaco and Palmira in the municipality of Palmira, and finally goes into the municipality of Cienfuegos and merges into the Circuito Sur (right) and Calle 37 (left).
The road is known as “impassable and that section [Cruces area] even more so”, said a forum member after an accident happened in the Cruces area of the highway.[4]
