The Government of El Salvador has taken a significant step in the development of the country with the construction of important public infrastructure works, aimed at improving national competitiveness and attracting investment. These actions not only seek to boost domestic trade, but also to establish new trade routes that strengthen the economy of salvadoran families.
Among the most outstanding works is the Gerardo Barrios ring road, inaugurated on december 1, whose construction required an investment of US$160 million. This project includes seven overpasses, tunnels, bus bays, bicycle lanes, and more, making it the largest road infrastructure in the country’s history. These features seek to ensure more efficient and safer mobility for thousands of users.
The minister of Public Works, Romeo Herrera, emphasized that the lighting of the peripheral road is key to road safety. More than 500 translucent poles and 1,000 solar lights are being installed along the stretch. This effort ensures better conditions for drivers and reinforces the government’s commitment to sustainable and technological development.
This new ring road is already benefiting more than 30,000 vehicles that use it daily, reducing travel times by up to 40 minutes. In addition, the cargo transportation that connects Honduras with San Miguel and San Salvador has reduced logistics costs, which has a positive impact on reducing fuel costs and improving the distribution of goods and food.
These works reflect the commitment of President Nayib Bukele’s government to the modernization of the country. The goal is to ensure that Salvadoran families and businesses can enjoy safer, more efficient and agile roads, transforming infrastructure into a key tool for economic and social growth.
