In April 2022, villages along the road have been without public transportation for over a month, with an estimate of 30,000 residents in the towns of Jardin, Padagogico, Las Flores, and El Sopapo, due to a fuel crisis in Cuba so bad that it's being compared to the Special Period.
This type of accident is apparently common on this road, especially late at night and early in the morning.
It goes through several villages, then has two junctions to get the Abel Santamaría Airport, then continues across two more villages, and then enters the municipality of Encrucijada, where it continues across three more villages until the town of Dos Hermanas, where it has a junction going to Calabazar de Sagua, and the road continues until Encrucijada, going under the newly made Encrucijada Beltway (part of the Circuito Norte), the road to Abel Santamaria, and finally ends at the Calzada de Maceo as the 6ta Avenida Sur.
[3] The section going from the Santa Clara Beltway to El Elevado is known to be full of potholes and mud, causing four people traveling in a privately owned Lada to crash into a traffic sign on the road.
It is unpaved starting from the south from the Road of Malezas and heading north with no outlet.
