The Ruta 25 ( RN 25 for short ) is a national road in the Región de Antofagasta in the great north of Chile . In its course of 119.3 km it is completely paved and connects the Ruta 5 Arica-La Serena with the city of Calama via its southern connection via Sierra Gorda . From here there are other rutas that connect Antofagasta with other distant places such as San Pedro de Atacama and Ollagüe . The section of the Avenida Circunvalación ring road of the state road has two lanes. In addition, due to the expansion of the Spence mine , a bypass of just over 20 m km has been built north of Sierra Gorda.

Together with Rutas 23 , 27 and 5 Panamericana , it belongs to the Corredor Bioceánico Eje del Capricornio , which leads to Antofagasta .

Cities and towns

The towns, villages and settlements along the section from south to north are:

Antofagasta region

• Length: 119 km (km 0 to 119). In the urban section of Calama , the street is called Avenida Circunvalación and has the characteristics of an autopista.
• Antofagasta province : Sierra Gorda and police control (km 46).
• Province of El Loa : connection to Chalet Dupont and police control (km 105), connection to Calama (km 110, 113, 115, 117, 118 and 119).

Calama Ring Road

This structure serves to improve the accessibility between Chuquicamata and the port of Tocopilla . In addition, the passage of transit traffic is to be improved, which occurs mainly from Argentina between the border passes Paso de Sico and Paso de Jama and the regional ports. On the other hand, the project increases the capacity of the feeder to Calama and thus meets the requirements of the higher traffic volume in the course of the rapid growth of the city.

business

A privately-publicly initiated project is currently trying to build an autopista on the most important section (access to Calama) and place it under private management. This would mean the two-lane expansion and construction of driveways, overpasses or underpasses, maintenance routes, the repair of the existing road surface, lighting, new street signs, bus stops and other safety and control systems.
