The Canarian Government have announced that the tender for the new dual carriage between Caldereta and the airport will go out to tender in the next few weeks.
The road will cost approximately 100 million euros for the 17 km link.

My opinion - If the Corralejo to Caldereta road is anything to go by then it might be open in 2028!

Always the optimist Stephen
On the flipside, there may be enough traffic by then to warrant it,

I don’t think so, best at building roads on time and on budget are the Polish.

Has the actual route been determined? Any maps anyone?

Another report to say that the Caldereta to Puerto section is going out to tender soon.
The Gobierno de Canarias has athorised the
Money for the project and it quotes that -
'Due to the complexity of the works to be undertaken in this new section, an execution period of 54 months has been established, so the authorized investment today will involve a multi-annual expense with the following annual payments: 8,730,087 euros in 2020; 24,007,739 in 2021; 28,372,783 in 2022; 30,555,305 in 2023; 26,190,261 in 2024, and 11,785,617 in 2025.'

Approx 126 million euros in total over the length of the project. That is one hell of a price IMHO

I agree that is expensive, over 10 million euro per Km as I have calculated it is at most 12 Km of motorway as based on Captains post it only goes to Puerto and not the airport
Update on reading the article it talks of a total of 130 million € for 16.5 Km of motorway to the airport so that is still expensive at 7.87 million € per Km

By way of comparison, the first phase of HS2 is 120 miles and the (current) estimate is £17,500 million (£17.5bn) which works out at (I think) about £140 million a mile.
So 7.87 million € per Km (£10/mile) seems like a bargain to me.
