The Ruta Nacional 14 General José Gervasio Artigas (Decree Law 26859/10 jun 2013) is a major road in Argentina. It has its starting point in the small city of Ceibas, in the Entre Ríos province. Route 14 diverges from Ruta Nacional 12, following the río Uruguay coast and ending in the city of Bernardo de Irigoyen, Misiones. It is one of the most transited roads of the country, mainly because of tourists going to Brazil and Uruguay, and because it receives most of the former's trade.
The road is being widened between Gualeguaychú and Paso de los Libres.[1] Almost the entire route is fully paved, except for the Gramado (near San Pedro) and Dos Hermanas stretch, which is due to be paved in February 2011.[2][3] The road's length is 1.127 km.
Lately, this road has gained a bad reputation due to frequent car accidents, being colloquially dubbed "La Ruta de la Muerte" (The Road of Death).
San Martín Department: There are no cities with more than 5000 inhabitants, but the road passes through La Cruz (km 592). At km 551 is the RN 122 junction from which people can gain access to the historic town of Yapeyú.
San Pedro Department: San Pedro (km 1048). The unpaved section is generally avoided using paved provincial routes 20 and 19 in the town of Dos Hermanas in the General Manuel Belgrano Department.
