History

The Camino Real of Cienfuegos – Santa Clara became the first road connecting the 2 cities, with the 4–112 being the same general, from Cienfuegos to Cruces to Villa Clara, route. [4] The first part of the road on the Avienda 26 de julio was the former Camino Real, which turned into the 4–112, and then continues onto the former Camino a Ranchuelo. [5]

The 4-112 starts at the Carretera Central in Esperanza, nearby provincial capital, Santa Clara. It continues south, going over the Autopista Nacional, to Ranchuelo and Carlos Caraballo in Villa Clara Province. The road continues straight to the villages of Marta Abreu and Cruces in the municipality of Cruces, Espartaco and Palmira in the municipality of Palmira, and finally goes into the municipality of Cienfuegos and merges into the Circuito Sur (right) and Calle 37 (left). [6]

The road is dangerous to drive on, especially at night, with it being known as “impassable and that section [Cruces area] even more so”, said a forum member after an accident happened in the Cruces area of the highway. [7] At night, it’s common to find tractors, cars, and bicycles without any lights. [8]

In 2014, apart of the repair and maintenance in Villa Clara Province, the 4–112 had hundreds of tons of asphalt poured on several areas with poor conditions, with corrections of potholes happening throughout the province. [9]
