Argentina's Salta to see waterworks prioritized under Plan Belgrano

Argentine President Mauricio Macri's northern infrastructure development initiative (Plan Belgrano) will prioritize a package of waterworks in Salta and neighboring provinces over the next four years, local news outlet El Tribuna reported.

Plan Belgrano director José Cano met with municipal leaders from Salta to discuss the works, which consist of potable water, sewerage, rainfall drainage and irrigation projects.

Approximately US$350mn in unused IDB financing from 2015 will be assigned to the Plan Belgrano works, the report said.

The drafting of projects will be carried out over the next six months, while city officials can also seek Plan Belgrano-support for projects that have stalled, Cano said.

Additionally, Macri is expected to announce in the coming weeks a US$2.5bn project to reactivate the Belgrano cargo rail line, which is to include a terminal in Güemes.
