Tierra del Fuego road infrastructure crisis

Overview

Significant pavement deterioration has been reported on National Route 3 in Tierra del Fuego, creating hazards for travelers. Potholes have been identified in several sectors, including the stretches between Río Ewan Norte and Arroyo Los Mineros, Río Grande and Puente Justicia, and San Sebastián and Río Grande. These conditions are worsened by winter weather such as ice, frost, and fog.

The provincial road authority, Vialidad Provincial, has attributed the infrastructure decline to a lack of national resources and a pending debt of $156 million owed by the national government. Due to unpaid certificates and interest, the provincial agency decided not to renew agreements to maintain certain national complementary routes. As a result, responsibility for several routes, including the northern section of National Route 3, has reverted to the national district. While the provincial agency is focusing its resources on roads under its own jurisdiction, it continues to coordinate efforts to address transitability issues on the province’s main artery.
