The Legislative Assembly approved, with 57 votes, a new US$155 million loan agreement with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI), intended to strengthen road infrastructure and improve urban mobility in different parts of the country.
The funds will be used to implement the Programa de Infraestructura Vial y Movilidad Urbana Fase II, which will be managed by the Ministerio de Obras Públicas y de Transporte (MOPT). This project is part of the national road network modernization strategy, with the goal of facilitating vehicular traffic, reducing travel times, and improving connectivity between key regions.
According to the approved plan, it includes the expansion and rehabilitation of highways in the department of Ahuachapán, an area considered strategic due to its commercial activity and its connection to the western part of the country. It also includes improvements at various access points to the Área Metropolitana de San Salvador (AMSS), where traffic flow is high and the demand for infrastructure is constant.
The planned work aims to improve highway capacity, optimize main access routes to the capital, and strengthen road corridors connecting urban and rural areas. This will allow for more efficient movement of people and goods, positively impacting economic activity and daily mobility.
CABEI financing will allow for the continuation of road projects already initiated in previous phases, consolidating a more modern and functional infrastructure network. With this, the Government seeks to address the growth of the vehicle fleet and the need to improve connectivity in critical areas of the country.
With this approval, the Executive Branch will move forward with the execution of works that seek not only to improve road conditions but also to boost economic development and territorial integration through improved urban and regional mobility.
