Route 11 highway Route 5 proposal infrastructure development Buenos Aires province road safety

The Buenos Aires provincial government is working to transform Route 11 into a highway, with the goal of completing the works before the upcoming summer tourist season. The project, which includes the Mar de Ajó to Pinamar stretch, aims to improve road safety by physically separating traffic lanes to reduce head-on collisions and providing dedicated turnarounds for safer maneuvers.

Data from the 2025-2026 summer season shows significant traffic volume, with over 2.1 million vehicle passages recorded at the La Huella and Madariaga toll booths. The infrastructure project also incorporates environmental measures, such as four wildlife crossings and a reforestation program that mandates planting three trees for every one removed.
