As part of the project, procedures for building six of the highways should be put in place before the end of 2009. Some €104 million will be invested in 41km Leon-La Baneza highway; €142 million will be spent on two further motorways between Palencia and Paredes de Nava, and Palencia and Carrion de los Condes; a further project includes the last stretch of Segovia's ring road; while the Agreda-Almazan at €179 million, and the Salamanca-Alba de Torres projects conclude the government's plans for this year.

At the same time, the Leon Toreno-Paramo, and Villablino-Piedrafita de Babia highway projects are at a very advanced proceedings stage.

The authorities in Castilla-La Mancha have authorised a tender for the construction of a 28km second stretch of the IV Centenario highway, which will link Granatula de Calatrava and Valdepenas, at a cost of €105 million. The entire highway is set to cost the government €980 million in total and will be free to use.
