Infrastructure and public works projects are undergoing various stages of maintenance, construction, and oversight in Chile and Mexico.

In Chile, significant bridge-related developments are occurring. The Presidente Ibáñez Bridge in Puerto Aysén is scheduled for an eight-month vehicular closure starting in December for structural conservation. Meanwhile, in Punta Arenas, the Contraloría General de la República has identified unresolved issues regarding the Chabunco Bridge replacement project, citing foundation deficiencies and significant timeline extensions.

In Mexico, regional infrastructure efforts are focused on both border transit and local improvements. In the Acuña region, authorities are preparing for the potential resumption of live cattle exports to the United States. Additionally, the Del Rio-Ciudad Acuña International Bridge was scheduled for a brief suspension to accommodate a commemorative ceremony. In Baja California, construction is progressing on the Tijuana-Rosarito 2000 Corridor, and officials have ordered inspections of the Tijuana River canalization to mitigate risks from heavy rains.
