National Route 9 (Argentina)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
National Route 9 (in Spanish, Ruta Nacional 9) is a major road in Argentina, which runs from the center-east to the northwest of the country, crossing the provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba, Santiago del Estero, Tucumán, Salta and Jujuy. It starts on General Paz Avenue, which marks the border between the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and the surrounding province of the same name, and ends in the Horacio Guzmán International Bridge, on the La Quiaca River, traversing 1,966 km, most of them fully asphalted except for a small part in Jujuy.
Between the cities of San Nicolás de los Arroyos and Rosario (distant about 65 km from each other), the road is named Teniente General Pedro Eugenio Aramburu (Aramburu was the de facto president of Argentina between 1955 and 1958, assassinated by the Montoneros).
