Infrastructure projects underway in Manizales and Paysandú

In Manizales, Colombia, construction on the San José Recreational Park and Sports Unit has reached 25 percent physical execution. The project, managed by the Manizales Mayor's Office through the Secretariat of Infrastructure, involves the transformation of 17,000 square meters of public space. Current works include earthmoving, the construction of sidewalks and pedestrian paths, and the preparation of parking areas. Additional tasks involve installing subbase for parking, assembling steel for a retaining wall, and leveling slopes in the northern zone.

In Paysandú, Uruguay, the Senderos del Río project is remodeling the waterfront from the Obelisk to the Municipal Resort area. Based on a master plan by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), the urban improvement integrates native vegetation with recreational spaces, bike lanes, and pedestrian paths. However, the construction has resulted in the removal or covering of the railway branch that previously connected the Paysandú port to the national rail network, raising questions about the future logistics and viability of the port.
