Work on this two-lane highway began in 1988. We built six bridges and 36 overpasses. The most notable bridges in this project included the Lerma bridge measuring 164 feet long, and the 217-foot Apeo overpass to avoid a railroad crossing.

Its construction required the excavation of 41 million cubic feet of cutting and 51 million cubic feet of embankments, plus the construction of 280 drains.

The project generated 2,700 direct jobs and 810 indirect jobs and started operations in 1990.
