Infrastructure project delays in Loja, Ecuador

Overview

In Loja, Ecuador, community leaders and residents are raising concerns regarding stalled infrastructure projects. Claudio Cisneros, representing the Frente Promejoras de los Barrios del Sur Ángel Felicísimo Rojas, has formally requested accountability from Mayor Diana Guayanay concerning contract 104-2021. This contract, involving the company Simar, covers paving and sewage works across ten neighborhoods, but remains unfinished in sectors such as Pitas II, San Cayetano, and El Rosal.

Cisneros has sought technical and legal reports regarding the contract and has proposed a mutual termination to allow new contractors to complete the work, citing socioeconomic, environmental, and mobility issues. Similarly, residents in the Sacapo neighborhood of San Pedro de Vilcabamba reported minimal progress on a promised 1.8-kilometer road paving project, expressing fears that potholes, mud, and dust will worsen with upcoming rains.
