Behind them in the distance, the actual mountains overlook traffic that barely slows to a stop at toll booths along the highway from Santiago de Chile to Talca, better known as the Ruta del Maipo. <\/p>\n    \n\n\n<p>The 240 kilometers of the route traverse through the Valle Central, the &#8220;central valley.&#8221; It has connected the Chilean capital with the country&#8217;s agricultural heartlands for more than two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction on the Ruta del Maipo was done by Ferrovial Construction in the late 1990s. This work involved renovating and upgrading 190 kilometers of the existing highway, building a by-pass to the city of Rancagua, and constructing a new 47-kilometer section of highway to link the Chilean capital and the south of the country.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n\n\n<m-gallery-ballester class='gutenberg' negative='negative'>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t<div slot=\"image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source media=\"(max-width: 667px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122123\/panorama-puente-autopista-5.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122123\/panorama-puente-autopista-5.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122123\/panorama-puente-autopista-5.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div slot=\"image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source media=\"(max-width: 667px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122121\/panorama-santiago-talca-3.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122121\/panorama-santiago-talca-3.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122121\/panorama-santiago-talca-3.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div slot=\"image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source media=\"(max-width: 667px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122119\/sant-talca-phase-20120420-0070-como-objeto-inteligente-2.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122119\/sant-talca-phase-20120420-0070-como-objeto-inteligente-2.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122119\/sant-talca-phase-20120420-0070-como-objeto-inteligente-2.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div slot=\"image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source media=\"(max-width: 667px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122117\/sant-talca-phase-20120420-0089-como-objeto-inteligente-2-2450x1080.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122117\/sant-talca-phase-20120420-0089-como-objeto-inteligente-2-2450x1080.jpg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/13122117\/sant-talca-phase-20120420-0089-como-objeto-inteligente-2-2450x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/m-gallery-ballester>\n\n\n\n\n<m-wysiwig negative id=\"wysiwyg\" class=\"wp-block-components-wysiwyg\"><div slot=\"maincontent\">\n<p>The highway starts to the south of Santiago and covers a little under 30 kilometers.

The river starts in the mountains and flows into the Maipo, where it departs from the mythical Angostura tunnel.
