📋 Tender Overview
The San Pedro Agroindustrial Corridor enters its decisive stage and is emerging as a key work to transform connectivity in the north of the country. Its three lots present important progress, with some sections practically completed and others in the final phase of completion. Promoted by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), the project covers some 95 kilometers of roads that will strengthen regional integration and the transfer of agricultural and livestock production. In Lot 1, corresponding to the Villa del Rosario - Volendam section, the accumulated progress reaches 94.74%. This sector, executed by EDB Construcciones, has practically completed the soil movement (94.47%) and sewage (96.01%) works. Currently, the tasks are concentrated on the placement of the asphalt base at the access to Mbopicua, as well as the stabilized granular base in the urban area, in addition to carrying out the execution of complementary works, including the protection of power line columns and pasting of slopes. For its part, Lot 2, which connects Volendam with San Pablo and is in charge of the ICE Consortium, registers a progress of 69.95%. In this section, earthwork exceeds 95%, while drainage works are around 74%. Current work focuses mainly on the execution of the structural paving package, including granular base, asphalt base and final layer. Meanwhile, Lot 3, corresponding to the San Pablo - Crossing route with route PY11 and executed by PROEL Engineering, presents the highest level of execution of the corridor, exceeding 100% accumulated progress with respect to the original contract due to the technical modifications incorporated during the development of the infrastructure. In recent weeks, work in this sector has focused on operational completion of the roundabout that connects the section with route PY11 (Yakare Nee intersection), and then begins the horizontal and vertical signaling work as the final activity to prepare the road section that is the subject of this contract. Regional impact The Agroindustrial Corridors of the Eastern Region, an initiative financed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), aims to improve the connectivity of rural and productive communities, facilitating the transfer of loads and access to essential services.
