In Spain the authorities in the Castilla y Leon region are planning to invest €1.21 billion in the construction of 15 highways up until 2020.

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.
