Bolivia advances regional road and bridge infrastructure projects

Bolivia is advancing several regional infrastructure and transportation projects aimed at improving connectivity and economic integration.

In the Beni department, the Legislative Assembly is seeking government funding for the bioceanic corridor. A primary focus is the construction of a bridge over the Mamoré River, which would include a 1,185-meter main bridge and a 540-meter bridge in the Varador sector, alongside 13.5 kilometers of two-lane highway. This project aims to replace current fluvial transport, which is noted for higher costs and logistical difficulties.

In La Paz, Governor Luis Revilla announced road improvements for the Malla municipality. This includes a 30 million boliviano investment for the Caxata–Rodeo–Cairoma–Araca highway, the reconstruction of the Hichuraya vehicular bridge, and the management of the Quta Qutani bridge through national programs.

In Oruro, the Administradora Boliviana de Carreteras (ABC) conducted technical inspections of the 150-kilometer Lago Poopó Tourist Circuit. The goal is to transfer this route to the Fundamental Road Network (RVF) to ensure continuous maintenance and support sustainable tourism and commercial connections to Pacific ports.
