Neuquén secures management of national routes amid regional weather alerts
In Argentina, Neuquén Governor Rolando Figueroa signed an agreement with National Road Administration to transfer management of over 165 kilometers of national routes (40, 231, and 242) to the province. The province will handle maintenance, conservation, and potential tolling, while the national government retains jurisdiction. Additionally, work continues on the Villa La Angostura bypass.
Across various regions, authorities are implementing weather-related prevention measures. In Mexico, the government of Puebla and Jalisco are coordinating with military and civil protection agencies to mitigate risks from heavy rains and tropical cyclones through dredging and infrastructure monitoring. In Nicaragua, SINAPRED is responding to river overflows and wind damage caused by recent storms.
Other infrastructure and social developments include the construction of the new Hospital Modelo ‘Doctor Eugenio Collado’ in Unión, and discussions in Uruguay regarding rising homicide rates and the need for nocturnal search warrants. In Spain, the Junta de Andalucía has allocated 2.9 million euros to repair riverbeds damaged by storms in Málaga.
