<\/a>The announced financing continues Phase I, approved in\u00a0June 2025<\/strong>\u00a0with an amount of\u00a0USD 135 million<\/strong>\u00a0initially allocated to works on the Constitution boulevard, Los Pr\u00f3ceres and the LIB12S Route towards Nuevo Cuscatl\u00e1n. The new stage extends the interventions towards the\u00a0western corridor<\/strong>\u00a0and accentuates the transformation of the Salvadoran metropolitan infrastructure, in a context of sustained increase in the demand for mobility and territorial connectivity. As a differential data, the regional bank thus accumulates more than\u00a0USD 290 million<\/strong>\u00a0committed exclusively to road network and urban mobility projects in the Salvadoran territory.<\/p>\n\n\nThe program is structured in three components: the expansion and improvement of the RN13W Highway<\/strong> from the Atiquizaya detour to the Ahuachap\u00e1n bypass, the carrying out of studies and construction of the North Corridor<\/strong> of the Peripheral Ring of the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador, and the design of the East Corridor<\/strong> of the same ring. In physical terms, the intervention contemplates the expansion to four lanes<\/strong> in 7.05 kilometers of road, the construction of 8.17 kilometers<\/strong> of new routes and a planned network of 30.4 kilometers of cycle path<\/strong>, projected as the largest scale in non-motorized mobility to date in the country.\n\n\n

The 45.6% reduction in travel times redefines mobility in western El Salvador<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nThe CABEI's estimates predict an average reduction of 45.6% in travel time<\/strong> on the intervened sections. The redistribution of vehicular flows will alleviate the saturation on the Pan-American Highway and optimize regional circulation, with a special impact on the main metropolitan accesses.\n\nThe expansion of the RN13W<\/strong> will increase the capacity of one of the busiest road corridors in the west, with a projected annual average daily traffic of 111,053 vehicles<\/strong>, of which 9,023 correspond to heavy cargo<\/strong>. This volume will consolidate logistical connectivity and reduce operating costs for both commercial transport and private users. In addition, the system will integrate intelligent traffic management solutions and reinforce road safety, replicating standards previously implemented such as the installation of 240 traffic detection cameras<\/strong> through ITS systems. The execution of the program will generate 250 temporary direct jobs<\/strong>, according to official calculations.\n\nAn average reduction of 45.6% in travel times is expected on the sections covered by the approved program.\n\nThe Ministry of Public Works and Transportation (MOPT)<\/strong> will once again be the main executor, replicating the institutional model of Phase I. For the CABEI, the operation represents a strategic investment in the competitiveness, territorial connectivity and well-being<\/strong> of the population, guiding the development of infrastructure under long-term criteria.\n\n\n

Among the components of the program, the projection of 30.4 kilometers of bike path<\/strong> stands out, proposed as one of the most extensive networks in the history of urban mobility Salvadoran<\/a>, according to data from the regional bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
