National Route 9 (in Spanish, Ruta Nacional 9) is a major road in
Between the cities of San Nicolás de los Arroyos and Rosario (distant about 65 km (40 mi) from each other), the road is named Teniente General Juan José Valle.
History
Beginnings
The route originated as the "Camino Real del Perú" (Royal Road of Peru), used since colonial times to travel from Buenos Aires, through
After the coming of the railroad, in the second half of the 19th Century, this road lost relevance, as the railroad provided faster service in any type of weather. The first train from Buenos Aires arrived in the town of La Quiaca in Argentina's northern border with Bolivia on 30 December 1907.[2]
With the advent of the automobile, the Federal Government decided to build roads throughout the Republic. In 1936 the road from Buenos Aires to La Quiaca was named Ruta Nacional 9 (National Route 9). In 1943 the road was open to traffic in its full length, even though most of it was unpaved.
The road started competing against the railroad, taking passengers and cargo. The last passenger train to La Quiaca arrived in December 1993, and the last cargo train in July 1994.[2]
Pavement
The Buenos Aires to Rosario section was paved by 27 December 1936. The work reached Córdoba on 5 June 1937.
The road between Congress Square (Plaza Congreso) in Buenos Aires and San Martín Square in Córdoba was 768 km (477 mi) long, with 42 bridges, 1,412 sewer covers and 17 level crossings, with a cost of 41,000,000 pesos moneda nacional, equivalent to 12,000,000 US dollars at the time.[4] In 1939 access to Buenos Aires from Pilar was completed, passing through Campo de Mayo and San Martín.
In those days, the Buenos Aires -
In 1950 the Dirección Nacional de Vialidad (Public Works Dept) paved the Ramallo to San Nicolás de los Arroyos section, and between 1952 and 1953 they finished the Campana to Atucha section and in 1956 the road was fully paved from Buenos Aires to Rosario.[3]
After the change of layout in 1979, the route was fully paved except for a short piece north of Humahuaca, in Jujuy Province, which was an improved road.[5] Works to finalize the route started in 1997 and were extended until 30 April 2004,[6] opening to the public on 21 January 2005.[7]
Divided lanes
Buenos Aires - Rosario Highway
The section passing through Greater Buenos Aires to the Port of Campana access road is part of "Acceso Norte" (a 120 km-length road that runs from Avenida General Paz (Buenos Aires city border) to Route 9, with branches to Tigre and Pilar through National Route 8).[8] The section between Avenida General Paz to the start of Route 8 is named "Autopista Pascual Palazzo" (by Decree 17/1981).[9]
In 1943 the Dirección Nacional de Vialidad presented a plan for access to the city of Buenos Aires.
Rosario – Córdoba Highway
The Rosario – Córdoba
On 12 November 1986, construction of the new highway between Córdoba and Villa María was bid, but the project never came to fruition.
In the year 2000 the national government opened a bid for the 109 km (68 mi) between Pilar and
On 3 May 2006, the national government opened the bidding process for the remaining sections of the highway in Santa Fe Province. The DYCASA company took charge of the section between Carcarañá and Armstrong, while a joint venture of Esuco and Chediack obtained the contracts for the highway between Armstrong and Tortugas...[16][17]
The highway was fully inaugurated on 22 December 2010.
Salta Province
In the decade of the 2000s the section shared with National Route 34 in Salta Province became a four-lane road (two on each way).
Right of way changes of 1979
The National Government by Decree 1595 in 1979 where several routes changed to provincial jurisdiction and vice versa, also changed the layout and right-of-way of some of them.[18]
Greater Buenos Aires
In
Buenos Aires - Santa Fe Province limits
Between
Tucumán - Salta Province Limits
In Salta Province, 1 km (0.6 mi) north of the Salta-Tucumán border, the road turned to the west then north, turning into a mountain road, 104 km (65 mi) packed dirt until the town of La Viña.[5] This section was transferred to Salta Province, changing its name to Provincial Route 6. Between the aforementioned town and the city of Salta, the road ran for 79 km (49 mi). This section remained under national jurisdiction, with the new name of National Route 68.
As of 2007 Provincial Route 6 is still unpaved and in some sections it is almost impassable.[21]
On 30 October 1980 the Dirección Nacional de Vialidad and its provincial counterpart signed an agreement to transfer National Route 9 inside the city of Salta between the bridge over the Arenales river and Vidt street to provincial control. The agreement was ratified by de facto provincial law.[22]
The old road is shown in green and the new one in red in the map.
