| Work Detail |
The province of Jujuy continues to strengthen its infrastructure with an ambitious road repaving plan and new high-rise housing development. Despite the slowdown in national public works, the provincial government decided to sustain and promote key projects with its own financing, achieving significant progress in both road connectivity and housing. The Provincial Repaving Plan includes more than 200 km of reconditioned and new routes. Currently, 30 km of the 70 km planned for this year have been completed, along strategic corridors such as Routes 42, 43, 8, 4, 53, and 56, which will be shared in areas such as Perico, El Carmen, Monterrico, Las Pampitas, Yala, and Palpalá. On the latter, work will reach Carahunco in 2024 and extend to La Mendieta in 2025. In addition, work is being considered on Route 1 (El Piquete–Rodeito) and on the productive connection from Arroyo Colorado to Palma Sola. A notable road project is the reactivation of the highway on National Route 34, which has been paralyzed for six years. The section under construction extends from the border with Salta to San Pedro de Jujuy, with 25 km of roadway duplication planned and an estimated completion time of two years. In addition, financing is being sought with the World Bank for the reconstruction of Route 66, in the Perico–Pampa Blanca and Perico–El Cuarteadero sections, which includes logistics and mining infrastructure components. The housing plan is not far behind. The province will launch a new high-rise housing project, inspired by the success of the Torres de Luján model. Between six and seven new buildings will be built in San Salvador de Jujuy, totaling 248 apartments. Bidding for these projects will open in the coming weeks, under the purchase agreement modality, which allows access to units at more affordable initial prices. This proposal is complemented by provincial microcredit lines. In parallel, technical studies are underway to update the drainage system in the Valleys, where a comprehensive consultancy project for seven canals is planned. The objective is to develop a diagnosis that will allow for future water diversion and control projects, adapted to urban growth. This type of project proved effective during the last rainy season, minimizing impacts in areas such as León and its surrounding areas. |
