| Work Detail |
The Government of Mendoza has signed the contracts for the execution of the first three works financed with part of the 1.023 million dollars from the Compensation Fund. This fund, originally intended for the construction of Portezuelo del Viento, was reformulated to promote different infrastructure projects in the province. The works include the repaving of Provincial Route 153 in its sections I and II, and Provincial Route 171. RP 153 connects Santa Rosa with San Rafael, while RP 171 connects San Rafael with General Alvear. The works will be carried out by the company Cartellone SA and will begin in March. The details of the sections to be worked on are as follows: RP 153 – Section I: 89 km between Las Catitas and Ñacuñán, in Santa Rosa. RP 153 – Section II: 59 km between Ñacuñán and Monte Comán, in San Rafael. RP 171: 35 km between Monte Comán and Real del Padre, with access to General Alvear. The initial investment will exceed 31 million dollars and is estimated to generate approximately 200 direct jobs. These routes are essential for the productive corridor of the eastern province and will improve connectivity between the departments of the northeast and the south of Mendoza. In addition to these three road works, new contracts will be signed in the coming days. The company Stornini SA will be in charge of the expansion and refurbishment of the General Alvear treatment plant, while the firm San Guillermo SA will execute the construction of the Máxima Tirasso sewage collector in Guaymallén. The contract signing ceremony took place at the Government House and was attended by provincial authorities and representatives of the winning company. The road administration highlighted that the tenders had a wide participation of companies, resulting in competitive offers below the official budget. Improvements in road infrastructure aim to optimize the transportation of cargo and passengers, reducing travel times and logistics costs, in addition to providing greater safety to users of these strategic routes for the provincial economy. |
