The Ministerio de Obras Públicas (MOP) announced that the Regional Master Plan for Mobility and Logistics 2035 contemplates an investment of US$52.488 million for the development of road, maritime and port infrastructure in Central America. This ambitious project was presented during a national workshop, with the support of the Secretaría de Integración Económica (SIECA) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and seeks to transform mobility and logistics in the region.
The event, headed by the minister of Public Works, Romeo Rodríguez, was attended by Central America’s ministers of transport and infrastructure, as well as representatives of the private sector and academia. Rodríguez highlighted the importance of the plan as a roadmap that will guide the countries of the region in improving their infrastructure to facilitate trade and the development of multimodal transport.
Central America is El Salvador’s main export destination, with a 57% share, equivalent to US$3.122 billion. Rodríguez stressed that improving infrastructure will be key to optimizing the flow of goods between countries and promoting the growth of regional trade, consolidating the region as a competitive logistics hub.
The master plan includes 11 strategic corridors and 374 projects that seek to improve connectivity and transportation efficiency throughout the region. Among the projects highlighted for El Salvador are the expansion of the port of Acajutla, the construction of the Francisco Morazán viaduct, and the extension of the Litoral highway, which are already underway.
With this historic investment, the Regional Mobility and Logistics Master Plan 2035 positions Central America as a benchmark in regional infrastructure, projecting a positive impact on long-term economic development and trade.
