“We have received confirmation of calls for bids for the execution of essential works for Colonia that have been postponed and for us they are vital for production, local and national development,” said the nationalist Colman after the meeting he held on April 4 with Minister José Luis Falero, Deputy Minister Juan José Olaizola, Director of Roads Hernán Ciganda, and Portfolio technicians.
The works
Port of Juan Lacaze – “Asphaltic base and layer for heavy traffic in the access section to the Port, a work that involves the construction of 6km of high-resistance route for heavy traffic, with the corresponding road signs and posters.”
The work is a necessity in view of the fact that “at the end of May the company “Línea del Plata” will begin to operate, which will provide the river transfer service that will connect Juan Lacaze with the city of Buenos Aires. This operation seeks to decongest and preserve the condition and durability of our routes. The ship that will be used has a capacity to move 52 trucks per shift, with a frequency of 2 daily departures, which promises to cross more than 100 vehicles, meaning an investment of more than 14 million dollars for the company”.
Route 21 – He spoke of its resurfacing “from the intersection with route 22 -Puente del Pelado- to the city of Carmelo”. To this is added the concretion of the “construction of a third road/lane, a section of 1 km located in the area of the ‘Del Pelado’ slope, a dangerous place known by those who circulate along this route on a daily basis”. The answer was that the ministry “estimates that before the end of the year it will be enabled.”
Lighting of national routes – Colman was informed that “next Friday the 22nd, the call for tenders will be opened for the replacement of the luminaire system of the national routes, and an extension that will contemplate the request that we presented after surveying the needs in the East and West zones of our department.” At the same time, “the installation of the new light peaks will be in the New Carmelo Bridge over the ‘Las Vacas’ Stream, with its access roundabouts to Carmelo, (which was relieved by the Security technical team Road and lighting,) Radial Conchillas, Route 1 intersection and access to La Paz CP”
