The road infrastructure in the northern part of San Salvador will undergo a significant change with the construction of the Apopa Bypass, a project involving an investment of over US$200 million and seeking to improve mobility in the region.
The project will include a four-lane highway with seven bridges, underpasses and overpasses, as well as lighting, signage, bus stops, and pedestrian infrastructure. The 6-kilometer alternate route will ease congestion in downtown Apopa and facilitate traffic to Aguilares, Nejapa, El Paisnal, Chalatenango, and even Santa Ana.
According to the Minister of Public Works, Romeo Herrera, one of the notable bridges will be the 400-meter-long cable-stayed bridge over the Las Cañas River, similar to those built in the eastern part of the country. The project is scheduled to begin next year and is estimated to take two years to complete.
At the same time, the Kilo 5 project is underway in Sonsonate in the western part of the country. This overpass will streamline traffic at a critical point and is part of a comprehensive plan to modernize the salvadoran road network, improve mobility, and strengthen regional connectivity.
These projects are expected to reduce travel times, facilitate the transport of goods, and boost economic development in the benefited areas.
