Route 6 underwent repairs last year, but needs a comprehensive improvement due to the increase in trucks in transit. Governor Alberto Weretilneck assured that before the end of the year, work will be underway to repave and improve routes 6 and 8, which connect the Alto Valle with the Southern Region of Río Negro. We are already on the way to the final decision, to the final procedures, so that this route is as it should be, said the president in Los Menucos. He also mentioned the importance of Route 6 in the context of the mining and energy growth of the province, especially with the development of the main gas and oil export hubs in Sierra Grande and San Antonio Oeste, as well as the strategic connection with Vaca Muerta and the Alto Valle. The entire Southern Region, whether due to the Calcatreu mining or what is going to happen in the Gulf, is going to have an absolutely extraordinary movement that it did not have today, he explained. The works to renovate the so-called “sand route” are part of a tender that opened its envelopes in February, in which 19 bidders participated.
