After nearly two decades, Cuba is ready to resume the construction of the national highway with plans to complete three lanes in a 60 km stretch between the central provinces of Villa Clara and Sancti Spiritus by next year. Ernesto Capdet Wert, director of Villa Clara's Highway Administration Center, said authorities are evaluating the state of the unfinished road located between kilometers 260 and 320 of the highway. The construction of the national highway was halted in the late 1980s because of the severe economic crises as a result of the strengthening of the US economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba. |
