The Autovía A-23 is a motorway in Aragon, Spain with an average speed limit of 120km/hr.

A-23 is an upgrade of the N-330 and N-234. Presently, it starts in the province of Huesca then leads south to Zaragoza. Thereafter, it follows the rio Jiloca south to Teruel through the Sierra d'Espada to the coast at Sagunto. Plans call for the freeway to reach the French border at Somport. The freeway is also known as Autovía Valencia-Francia or Autovía Sagunto-Somport.

Eventually, once fully complete, it will serve as an important axis of connection between Valencia, Aragon, the Basque region, and France, through the Somport tunnel . Its nickname is the "spine of Aragon" since it runs along the north-south community intercommunicating the three capitals.

The A-23 runs through the corridors of the N-234, between Sagunto and Retascón and the N-330 between Retascón and Jaca. Though, except two small sections, the whole layout of the road is new and independent of national roads. One is at 10 km from Viver and Barracks (Ragudo rise) and another is at about 30 km from the complicated port to save the Pyrenean the Monrepós which is the most expensive portion of the entire highway, currently under construction.

Name

Its name is derived from, like almost all conversions of national roads to highways, the first two figures of the old name (N- 23 4> A- 23 ). The letter A makes reference to a motorway belonging to the Ministry of Development .

The A-23 also has European nomenclature, as part of the European route E07, which connects Pau, southern France, with Zaragoza .

In the French section, the route is called RN134, which connects Pau to Oloron-Sainte-Marie and Spain.

History

A-23 is a new highway, which follows the same route of two national roads, the N-234 between Sagunto and Daroca - Retascón, and the N-330 between Retascón and Jaca . Construction began in 1999 from the city of Sagunto and currently (2014) sections are under construction north of the province of Huesca.

The three Aragonese capitals are now linked by motorway [ edit ] The three Aragonese capitals are from Thursday February 21, 2008 linked by motorway, with the commissioning of the last section was left open pending the A-23.

The new section Calamocha - Romans of the A-23 is 27.8 kilometers long, has four bonds, and has come at a cost of 98.68 million euros.

The motorway between Zaragoza and Teruel, Huesca continues until, and is scheduled to arrive in Jaca and the French border, but the route also links from Zaragoza to the Cantabrian by the A-68, and in the future with northern Navarre the Basque Country by the A-21 and Lleida by the A-22 .

Issues

The stretch between Zaragoza and Huesca presents problems for light trucks when strong gusts occur in Cierzo .

In the section turolense occurred post-construction problems slopes detachment, Chirico and constant danger of affecting the circulation within a few months of being opened and in 2009 had to run resurfacing work to the problems identified waterlogging and subsidence .

On July 22, 2010, the plan to cut spending by the Ministry of Development for Spain, rescinded two of the sections under construction between Nueno and Jaca, and a third between Jaca and Santa Cilia de Jaca, in the A -21 ; and paralyzed the implementation of the remainder (see diagram sections) with a horizon of 1 to 4 years to retake the paralyzed sections, leaving the three sections terminated at zero, at the expense of making back all the procedures and relevant studies before start of construction. This is a general paralysis of the whole A-23, A-21, Huesca-Pamplona.

In today's Infrastructure Plan 2015 there are no updates on continuing the construction of this highway and adding new routes to the same game. It is expected that by the 2020-2025 period can resume investments in some of the outstanding work done.

Current Path

Runs from the town Valencia of Sagunto to the town Huesca of Nueno, and Sabinanigo to Jaca .

434.84 kilometers of which, once completed, will have the motorway are in service 369.2 kilometers (14.2 named as Z-40); 40.5 in works; 10.2 with work contract terminated; 6.9 on tendering and bidding 8.04 pending works. Motorway will not be made in the 19 km North Jaca to the Somport tunnel, road improvement only and variations in the villages. Currently the time it takes to connect Sagunto to Somport is ~ 4 hours and 38 minutes.
