Autovía A-22, Autovía Huesca-Lleida, Spain
Map of Autovía A-22, Spain. 
Autovía A-22 or Autovía Huesca-Lleida is an upgrade of a section of the existing N-240 Spanish road, managed by the Spanish Government, between Huesca, the second largest city in Aragón and Lleida, a provincial capital in Catalonia.
The A-22 runs mainly in parallel to the existing N-240 road except for certain specific stretches such as the Monzón bypass, and the Barbastro bypass where alternative routes have been employed.
The construction has been divided into the following sectors, Huesca-Siétamo, Siétamo-Velillas, Velillas-Ponzano, Ponzano-El Pueyo, Barbastro Bypass, Monzón Bypass, Binéfar Bypass, Binéfar Bypass-Aragón/Catalonia border, Aragón/Catalonia border-Almacelles Bypass, Almacelles Bypass-La Cerdera, La Cerdera-Junction with A-2 Motorway at the edge of Lleida.
The remaining section is the 13km Huesca - Sietamo sector. Until this final section is completed in 2021, it will be necessary to transfer onto the N-240 highway to complete the journey into the city of Huesca.
The A-22 provides a far more satisfactory communication between Huesca and Lleida and intermediate towns than previously offered by the N-240, but also a direct four-lane highway connection between Huesca and Barcelona, a journey which previously required a long and time-consuming diversion via Zaragoza if motorway standard roads were used.
When the final sector is completed, the A-22 will provide direct access to the Autovía A-23 serving Jaca (Aragón) and connecting to the Autovía A-21 for Pamplona (Navarra) using highways which are also undergoing the process of upgrading.
Length: 110 km (70 mi)
Major cities crossed: Lleida, Almacelles, Binéfar, Monzón, Barbastro, Huesca.
