CV-10 is the name given to the union of several highways with old nomenclature, such as CS-222, CS-V-8501, C-238, CS-850 and CS-233, which linked locally, municipalities such as Bechí, Villavieja or Puebla-Tornesa, among others. Now they have all been unified, to go to a road that crosses the entire province (from Almenara to La Jana) without interruption.
Currently, the section between the A-7 in Almenara and the CV-13 in Villanueva de Alcolea is unfolded, and therefore it is a highway.
