Route 10 is a national route of Uruguay. In 1983, it was assigned the name Juan Díaz de Solís, a national hero of Uruguay.[1]
There are at least three parts that constitue Route 10, all of them close to the coastline. One less mentioned part starts by splitting off Ruta Interbalnearia after the bridge of Arroyo Pando and at its junction with Route 34, in Canelones Department. It runs for about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) and stops at the resort Marindia.[2]
Another part, often mentioned as the "first", starts after the bridge over the stream Arroyo Solís Grande, splitting from the Ruta Interbalnearia, crossing the resort of Solís and running along the coastline until Piriápolis.[3]
The most important part for the tourism connects Punta del Este with Aguas Dulces in the northeast.[4][5]. The "missing link" of this part is a proposed bridge over Laguna Garzon, which separates this part in two unconnected pieces.[6][7]
The distance notation along Route 10 uses the same Kilometre Zero reference as Routes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and IB, which is the Pillar of Peace of Plaza de Cagancha in the Centro of Montevideo.[8] Aguas Dulces is at Km. 277 of Route 10.[9]
