The intervention carried out by the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP) will improve circulation, particularly heavy traffic, reinforce road safety and avoid saturation on the bridge currently in use, the ministry reported. The work was completed after completing work on the new bridge over the San Salvador River.
Access to the bypass is via route 105, at kilometer 21,700. From there, the route connects with departmental roads and with the Juan Manuel Blanes Perimetral, where normal circulation resumes. The bypass includes the new bridge over the San Salvador River, intersections with Camino La Tablada and Camino Paso Ramos, as well as different sections along departmental roads, where it is requested to drive with caution due to sharp curves and narrow roads.
The 2026-2030 Investment Plan of the National Highway Directorate also foresees the definitive construction of the Dolores bypass, which will connect routes 105 and 96, and whose executive project is currently being prepared. While this definitive work is being carried out, the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP) executed a provisional solution to guarantee connectivity in the area.
Once the final bypass is built, a scale will be installed to control loads on route 105, before access to the bridge. Until then, the controls will be carried out using mobile equipment and with the support of the scale located on Route 21, the ministry reported.
The authorities asked drivers to respect the signs and take extreme precautions during the first days of operation of the new route.
