History
editIn 2017, from October to November, the Autopista A1 closed past the intersection with the 4–531, for repairs, making it so you had to either go down the circunvalación Sancti Spíritus or north to Yaguajay, instead of being able to go straight until Taguasco, then ending at the Maja–Taguasco Road, which was also closed. [2][3][4][5]
In 2018, there was damages in the road due to the landslides in the El Yigre area, and inter-municipal transport services where temporary closed due to the weather throughout the province.[6][7]
