This improvement in road connectivity strengthens the competitiveness of the regions, which has an impact on improving peoples quality of life. That is our goal, to provide citizens with the road infrastructure they need, said the Minister of Transport and Communications, Raul Perez Reyes.
Of the total number of bridges, 73 are of the definitive type, meaning that concrete predominates in their construction; while 59 are modular, installed with metal structures. Their lengths fluctuate between 8 and 408 meters.
