Argentine provinces and neighboring countries roll out major road safety and infrastructure upgrades

Provincial authorities in Argentina are advancing several road projects aimed at improving safety and connectivity. In San Luis, the provincial government is renewing the horizontal marking on Route 20 over a 73‑kilometre stretch, investing more than $1.656 billion in new lane markings, speed‑reduction zones and enhanced signage. Santa Fe’s Corridor 9 has launched a public tender to install the electronic TelePASE toll system on Routes 70 and 6, budgeting $190 million plus VAT to enable nonstop vehicle passage at three toll stations.

Further rural improvements include the Viale‑Arroyo Durazno corridor, where work on sub‑base and surface layers is progressing from both ends, and a new “plaza huella” on La Laguna vereda in Santa Rosa de Viterbo, Colombia, reaching 70% completion with donated cement.

In response to a recent fatal accident, the city council of Federación (Entre Ríos) is proposing speed reducers, protected sidewalks and permanent traffic controls on Route 44, while Córdoba’s governor oversaw the start of asphalt paving on the Malvinas Argentinas over‑level of National Route 19, now 65% complete.

Urban projects include a pedestrian crossing over Jamaica Street in San Vicente, linking the Sargento Cabral and Solferino neighborhoods, and a safety‑focused construction oversight plan in Ushuaia, Argentina, proposing regular inspections and a citizen‑reporting channel.

In Chile, VíasChile reports that the Multi‑Lane Free‑Flow electronic toll system on Ruta 5 Norte is 76% finished, with a new toll‑gate installed at Pichidangui.

Collectively, these initiatives aim to reduce accidents, streamline travel and support regional development across the involved jurisdictions.
