The Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP) continues to make progress in strengthening the road infrastructure associated with passenger transportation, with a focus on the installation and improvement of pedestrian shelters (gateposts) on different routes in the country, with the aim of increasing safety and accessibility at the pick-up and drop-off points.
Within the framework of the road safety policy and improvement of public transportation, the MTOP highlights that so far during the current administration, 29 pedestrian shelters have been built on national routes, executed through the contract managed by the Traffic Safety Division. These works have been deployed in different parts of the country, covering routes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 26, 27, 30, 82 and 90.
In parallel, the regional Highways continue to advance with new interventions. Between March 2025 and April 2026, Regional 1 built twelve pedestrian shelters in Canelones and in rural areas near Villa Nueva, Sauce, San Bautista, Santa Rosa and Santa Lucía, on routes 7, 34, 36, 46, 67 and 84.
For its part, Regional 2 completed seven pedestrian shelters located on routes 15 and 19, in the department of Rocha, in the same period; on Route 10 (Barra de Valizas Bridge) and on Route 9.
Regional 3, meanwhile, built six sentry boxes located at different points on Route 18 (Municipality of Rincón), on the branch of Route 26 (School No. 21 of San Servando and School No. 97 Laguna Merín), as well as at the intersections with streets 15 and 31.
In total, these interventions reach 54 new pedestrian shelters on national routes during the current administration, as part of a sustained strategy to improve the safety, comfort and accessibility of public transport users throughout the country.
Through the online procedure available on the State procedures portal, citizens can request the construction of pedestrian shelters and/or the signage of official or authorized stops on national routes. The system also allows managing interventions linked to removals or adaptations that contribute to safer boarding and disembarking of passengers.
