* Roads in Cuba

The Sancti Spíritus–Yaguajay Road (4–531) is a north-south national highway in Sancti Spíritus Province, Cuba, connecting Sancti Spíritus to the town of Yaguajay. The road has two sections, the southern half of the road is the Circunvalación/Autopista Sancti Spíritus, the motorway section, also known as the 4-66,[1] north of the intersection with the Autopista A1, is the regular Sancti Spíritus–Yaguajay two lane road, built before the revolution.

## History

[edit]

In 2017, from October to November, the Autopista A1 closed past the intersection with the 4–531, for repairs, making it so you had to either go down the circunvalación Sancti Spíritus or north to Yaguajay, instead of being able to go straight until Taguasco, then ending at the Maja–Taguasco Road, which was also closed. [2][3][4][5]

In 2018, there was damages in the road due to the landslides in the El Yigre area, and inter-municipal transport services where temporary closed due to the weather throughout the province.[6][7]
