Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation.

The N-260, also known as Eje Pirenaico (Pyrenaean Axis), is the northernmost east–west national road in Spain.
In contrast to the majority of Spanish national roads, which were specially constructed during the mid-20th century, the path for this highway was established at 80's decade over several previously existing secondary (or even local) roads. This fact, along with the mountainous characteristics of the eastern Pyrenees regions it crosses, is the consequence of several stretches being uneven and narrow paths with features further from the modern standard national roads.
The N-260 is in process of being upgraded to the A-26autovía.
This stretch is a part of the former C-260 road between Roses and Olot (the Roses-Figueres section is still named C-260)
The Besalú-Olot stretch has been recently upgraded to the A-26autovía
The Figueres-Besalú stretch is in process of being upgraded to the A-26 autovía
Olot - Ripoll
This stretch is an old, narrow and uneven road which became outdated with the recent upgrading of the nearby C-26 road (Olot-Camprodon-Ripoll section), and specially with the opening of the Collabós tunnel.
Ripoll - Puigcerdà path: The ending of the first section at Ripoll and the beginning of the second section at Puigcerdà are connected via the N-152 road, which passes over the Collada de Tosas (1,800m).
