Infrastructure and transportation projects continue to expand across Latin America, with significant activity in Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela, Honduras, and Costa Rica. In Argentina, roadwork and climate mitigation remain central priorities. To address El Niño-related risks, authorities in Santiago del Estero are reinforcing defenses on the Dulce River, while Corrientes is accelerating hydraulic works. In Entre Ríos, officials are coordinating with Unicef to assist approximately 7,000 evacuees displaced by the Paraná River. Other regional works include terrain stabilization on Route 18, reconstruction of Route 215, and paving projects in Florencio Varela and Saladillo. Additionally, the Valle de Lerma highway is progressing, with the Salta government advancing construction on a section expected to open by late 2026 featuring integrated flood prevention infrastructure. Logistics efforts also continue in Buenos Aires province to reactivate a railway branch connecting several towns to Puerto Quequén. Recent developments in Argentina include the opening of new collector roads on the Dellepiane highway in Buenos Aires to alleviate southern city congestion, featuring a two-lane stretch and a new bus stop. Connectivity has also improved with the inauguration of 700 meters of new paving between Córdoba and Saldán. In Neuquén, the first 200 meters of the Gran Avenida have opened to traffic, while water supply repairs in Paraná’s San Agustín neighborhood are gradually restoring service. In Paraguay, the Ministry of Public Works and Communications is conducting interventions on the Las Residentas Corridor and has implemented new traffic and pedestrian management rules at the Pedrozo crossing on Route PY02. Other regional developments include the expansion of Movil Bus parcel services in Peru. In Venezuela, authorities are deploying a modular “war bridge” in San Sebastián de los Reyes. In Honduras, rehabilitation has begun on the CA-13 highway in Colón, while Tegucigalpa is repairing a major sinkhole on Avenida Colón.
