 GC2 |
 |
When GC1 was created, a second GC was not far behind. The record of yet another of man s engineered wonders that are called superhighways, the GC2 is similar with the first GC superhighway. Like GC1 , it was built in the late1970s to answer to the growing demand of a better road due to the fast increasing influx of tourists. It first opened within Las Palmas de Gran Canaria , and it further extended to the western part and connected with the GC31 .
The GC2 superhighway in due course, extended to the coastlines and the highways so that it can bypass towns. In the 1980s up to the 1990s, it reached up to the Agaete along with other several towns. The section within Agaete where there was an increased interchange numbers and exit numbers is not as yet classified though as a superhighway.
The GC2 is also known as the North Highway in Gran Canaria . It connects Las Palmas Gran Canaria with the north, where the little ports and villages of Agaete are located. The eastern portion of GC2, for about 20 kilometers, is a superhighway with interchange numbers. The remainder of the highway is a two-lane highway. On the other hand, the western part of GC2 is like a freeway. However, it has only two lanes because it has exit numbers.
The full details of this superhighway begin by the beach area of the island (Gran Canaria s shared capital) together with its counterpart highway, the GC1 . The highway runs through the downtown area and connects with a roundabout interchange with GC31 . The freeway can be easily located as it is within the beaches and the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean for the first half part. However, at around the 20th km, it then becomes a highway after the one-directioned Parclo interchanges and further runs within the coastline. The GC2 later has several interchanges and course through several other towns as it passes to the northwest where it ultimately ends in Agaete .
