Projects executed by the Municipality
In addition to the work that has been carried out in the North Zone, in Barrio Murguía and in other parts of the city, the General Directorate of Works also has under its control the entrance to Melo via route 26 from Río Branco and the paving of the access road. to the town of Poblado Uruguay.
“Perhaps the citizens are not very aware of what the project is like, but it is a work of the Municipality of Cerro Largo included at the time in the trust” remembered Fernando Gamarra.
“It is not a work that is being carried out by the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works, but rather by the Municipality. That must be made clear because we believe it is very important. It was always said that when the trust funds were released, the entrances on routes 26 and 8 were going to be new.” expanded the General Director of Works.
“On Route 26 it has already started. The stretch was made from Mata to Muñoz. There is lighting and a central flower bed. Work will continue because from June 14 Street onwards – to the roundabout with the Perimeter Ring – sidewalk, lighting and cycle path on the right hand side are included.” he detailed.
He said to THE DIARY PROFESSIONAL that in some points of this section very important hydraulic work is being done. “Two pipe passes have already been made to take the water to the right shoulder and prevent flooding in the neighbors’ houses” he counted.
“It is a project of the Municipality, it is a very important work. “I always say that the entrances to Melo every time they are fixed give another view to the department” he opined.
“This completes the other access via route 26 –from Tacuarembó- where the Company is already working. The roundabout was made at the junction with 44. It is beginning to be fixed in front of the racecourse.” he pointed out.
“This way we will have the three main entrances to the department again. “That suits Cerro Largo very well.” considered the Director of Works of the Yurramendi Administration.
IN URUGUAY TOWN
“These days the sand sealing part of about 8 kilometers 600 meters in Poblado Uruguay is about to be completed” Gamarra confirmed. “The 3 irrigations have already been done and now the sand sealing is being done” he added.
“It’s a pretty busy road. The neighbors are very happy because who would have thought that almost 10 kilometers of bitumen were going to be made in that town? held.
“The same thing happens with route 38. We were talking with Eduardo Lucas –Mayor of the Municipality of Arévalo- “It’s been a few days and it’s coming at a very good pace.” stood out.
“They are works of high impact for the department, they are works that sometimes are not seen much or the citizen is not aware of them. We believe that it is important that through the media we inform about what is also being done outside, such as the access route to Arévalo and the route in Poblado Uruguay” stressed Fernando Gamarra, Director of Works of the Municipality of Cerro Largo.
