The Directorate General of Highways - Ministry of Public Works has awarded SANJOSE Constructora, in joint venture with Aceinsa Movilidad, the execution works for the project " Expansion of the Polanco - Santander Section of the A-67 Highway, Cantabria."project aims to improve the operational efficiency of the A-67 Highway segment between the Barreda Link endpoint (terminus of the Sierrapando-Barreda continuity route) and the Igollo Link (connection with the S-20 Highway, providing access to Santander from the West). Covering approximately 13 kilometers, this section encompasses the Polanco, Oruña, Boo, Mompía, and Igollo junctions, as well as the Gornazo service area associated with the A-67 Highway "Cantabria - Meseta"and diverse structures highlighting 1 viaduct, 7 overpasses, 8 underpasses and 2 Pedestrian Walkways.

The primary aim is to address capacity limitations and improve safety by expanding both carriageways, adding an extra lane to the existing two, and increasing the number of lanes from 3 to 4 closer to Santander.

Additionally, enhancements will be made along the current A-67 Highway alignment, including curve widening, alignment adjustments, broademimg and improving verges to enhance visibility, and junction safety improvements such as replacing intersections with roundabouts or enlarging existing roundabouts.
