Infrastructure and port developments in Latin America

Overview

Infrastructure developments and management issues are being reported across several regions in Latin America.

In Peru, urban and maritime projects are seeing varied outcomes. In Juliaca, merchants at the Las Mercedes market are facing commercial disruptions and traffic congestion due to delays in road improvement works. Meanwhile, the Salaverry Multipurpose Port Terminal has received approval for a USD 4.5 million maintenance dredging plan to improve navigation safety and competitiveness. In Concepción, Chile, the remodeling of Plaza Perú has been extended to September 12 following a report from the Comptroller General of the Republic that identified construction flaws such as concrete cracks and oxidized steel.

In Mexico, authorities in Ensenada are working to manage the impact of port growth. The Consejo Coordinador Empresarial and ASIPONA Ensenada are forming a working group to establish a ‘Port-City Agreement’ aimed at coordinating heavy vehicle traffic and local mobility with municipal authorities.
