en.Wedoany.com Reported - According to Resolution No. 717/2026, the completion certificate for the initial restoration works on Argentina's National Routes 12 and 14, executed by Autovía del Mercosur S.A., has been approved. This section, located between the towns of Zárate and Gualeguaychú, spans a total of 203 kilometers.
As part of the first phase of the Federal Concessions Network, the remaining 540 kilometers are also progressing steadily. All over 740 kilometers of this phase are expected to reach optimal traffic conditions in the coming months. These works mark the first progress of the plan, whose ultimate goal is to modernize over 9,000 kilometers of national highways nationwide through a concession system fully funded by private investment.
The works include pothole repairs, replacement of concrete slabs, shoulder reinforcement, installation of horizontal and vertical signage, and maintenance of lighting equipment, ensuring optimal driving conditions. According to the original plan, these works were to be completed within the first year of the contract; however, thanks to the concession system and fully private investment, this goal was achieved in just a few months.
The concession company has submitted a detailed report on the works, which has been certified by technical inspections from Argentina's National Road Administration (Vialidad Nacional). Additionally, in accordance with Article 82, section c of the General Technical Specifications of the concession contract, the relevant authorities have approved and authorized the implementation of the proposed toll rates, which will take effect at the Zárate toll booth in the coming days.
The concession contracts forming the Federal Concessions Network include three types of works: initial restoration works (to be completed within the first year of the concession to restore traffic capacity, with the proposed toll rates applicable only after completion and authorization by the National Road Administration), mandatory works (various established works to be completed within specified deadlines), and restoration works (requiring repaving of traffic lanes and asphalt shoulders to meet standards, completed within the stipulated timeframe).
