The Ruta 1 ( RN 1 for short ) is a trunk road in the South American Andean state of Chile . It is called Ruta 1 Costera.

Ruta 1 is located in the north of Chile in the Tarapacá and Antofagasta regions . In its course of 598.6 km it connects Iquique with the Ruta 5 by a road parallel to the Pacific coast. It connects two of the most important cities in northern Chile. It also serves as an alternative route to the Panamericana , which runs through the Atacama Desert .

The official function of this longitudinal axis was ratified in 2000 by Decree Nº 2136 by the Ministerio de Obras Públicas de Chile (MOP).

course

The longitudinal axis begins in Iquique. From this town, the route is completely paved to the area around Caleta Coloso, south of the regional capital, Antofagasta. The Pedro Galleguillos tunnel (north of Tocopilla ), which was built in 1994 as an alternative to the Paquica Pass, is on the route mentioned. The tunnel has undergone a number of repairs since the year it was built, mainly after the Tarapacá earthquake in 2005.

From Puerto Coloso to the southeast, the road is interrupted and then bears the same name again from Caleta El Cobre. The alternative further south is the Ruta 5, via the connection at Antofagasta through the middle of the desert , then via the Ruta B-70 until you reach Paposo. From Caleta Blanco Encalada to Paposo, Ruta 1 is a paved road, from there to the end it is paved again. It ends at the junction with Ruta 5.
