The Caracas–La Guaira highway is a highway that connects Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, to its principal port city of La Guaira, capital of the Vargas state. It was designed as an alternative to the old highway linking Caracas with La Guaira, the Carretera Vieja, a circuitous route with dangerous curves and steep drops. The end-to-end journey on the old highway had taken one hour while the new highway allowed the same trip to be made in 20 minutes.

  • Autobahnbrücken Caracas – La Guaira ist die zusammenfassende Bezeichnung für die drei größten Brücken auf der rund 20 km langen Autobahn, die von dem in 760–920 m Höhe gelegenen Caracas, der Hauptstadt Venezuelas, entlang der schroffen Tacagua-Schlucht (Quebrada Tacagua) durch das Ávila-Massiv zu dem Küstenort La Guaira mit dem Hafen und dem internationalen Flughafen Aeropuerto Internacional de Maiquetía “Simón Bolívar” hinabführt. Die zwischen 1950 und Ende 1953 gebaute Autobahn brachte eine bedeutende Erleichterung für den Verkehr, der sich zuvor über eine 25 km lange, schmale Landstraße mit zahlreichen engen Kurven gequält hatte. Die Brücken waren bei ihrer Fertigstellung die größten Betonbogenbrücken ganz Amerikas. (de)
  • The Caracas–La Guaira highway is a highway that connects Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, to its principal port city of La Guaira, capital of the Vargas state. It was designed as an alternative to the old highway linking Caracas with La Guaira, the Carretera Vieja, a circuitous route with dangerous curves and steep drops. The end-to-end journey on the old highway had taken one hour while the new highway allowed the same trip to be made in 20 minutes. It is the primary route between Caracas and the coast, and it links Caracas with its main international airport, Simón Bolívar International Airport. It was designed and built during the government of Colonel Marcos Pérez Jiménez and the military junta government that preceded it. Construction began in January 1950, and lasted until late 1953, with a huge cost of 3,500,000 dollars per km at the time, and 60,000,000 dollars on the present. At the time of its inauguration, the project was considered an engineering masterpiece, and one of the most visible examples of Venezuelan politics to reverse its oil wealth to the land. (en)
