context_page_description: National Route 9 is a major road in Argentina, which runs from the center-east to the northwest of the country, crossing the provinces of Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba, Santiago del Estero, Tucumán, Salta and Jujuy. It starts on Avenida General Paz, which marks the border between the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and the surrounding province of the same name, and ends at the Horacio Guzmán International Bridge, on the La Quiaca River, traversing 1,967 km. The road is a limited access motorway from Buenos Aires to Rosario.
  Between the cities of San Nicolás de los Arroyos and Rosario, the road is named Teniente General Juan José Valle.
context_section_description: In Salta Province, 1 km (0.6 mi) north of the Salta-Tucumán border, the road turned to the west then north, turning into a mountain road, 104 km (65 mi) packed dirt until the town of La Viña. This section was transferred to Salta Province, changing its name to Provincial Route 6. Between the aforementioned town and the city of Salta, the road ran for 79 km (49 mi). This section remained under national jurisdiction, with the new name of National Route 68.
  As of 2007 Provincial Route 6 is still unpaved and in some sections it is almost impassable.
  On 30 October 1980 the Dirección Nacional de Vialidad and its provincial counterpart signed and agreement to transfer National Route 9 inside the city of Salta between the bridge over the Arenales river and Vidt street to provincial control. The agreement was ratified by de facto provincial law.
  The old road is shown in green and the new one in red in the map.
