~ The new highway is 17 kilometers from Catia to Pariata. It’s two lanes, each 7.30 meters wide, are separated by an island 1.30 meters wide.

E autopista nobo ta 17 kilometro for di Catia pa Pariata. Su dos vianan, cada uno 7.30 metro hancho, ta separa pa un isla central di 1.30 hancho. AUTO

ta cost of NAFI. 114,000,000, Venezuela is presently having constructed one of the engineering marvels of South America. It is the new Autopista — a 17- kilometer stretch of super highway from Caracas to La Guaira. Three tremendous bridges, two tunnels, double lane roads — all built according to modern, safe CARACAS- highway construction — will replace the narrow, twisting former route. Started in 1950, it is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Chiseled out of the side of one of the Andean foothills, Bridge No. 1 is the largest concrete bridge in America and the fifth longest in the world. It is one-of the highway’s three bridges.

Saca for di den banda di un pia di cerro di Andes, Viaducto No. 1 ta e brug di concreto mas grandi na America y di cinco mas largo den mundo. E ta un di e tres brugnan di e autopista. The magnitude of one section of the highway’s construction is shown in the above panel of three. The middle picture shows the now famous explosion of 2000 tons of dynamite which practically tore away half a mountain. Flanking the explosion picture are the before and after scenes. Workman cleared out the explosion area, cut the road through and constructed three terraces above the highway to guard against erosion. All concrete, the terraces are approximately six meters wide.

This view shows the finished surface of Bridge No. 1. Whereas the old road from Catia to the sea didn’t have bridges, the new highway makes use of modern spans such as shown to facilitate comfortable, safe travel.

At locations where the engineers couldn’t go over or around, they went through. The Autopista has two tunnels, one 1800 meters long and the other 460 meters. Shown below is the southern entrance to Tunnel No. 1.

E obra principia na 1950, probablemente lo bini cla pa fin di e anja aki. Located four kilometers from Catia, Bridge No. 1 is 302 meters long and 70 meters above the Tacagua ravine. Two workman are shown fastening steel reinforcement wires before pouring concrete at No. 1.

A big problem faced by the highway engineers was the enormous amount of earth that had to be moved. This view shows large excavations that made possible a highway which will reduce present travel time by 45 minutes.

One of the outstanding feats of the new highway is the minimum number of curves. The old road had 365, the new only 36. Where necessary, cur- ves were constructed to provide maximum safety. Below is Curve No. 4.
