El Salvador opens border bridge

El Salvador's President Salvador Sánchez Cerén opened Tuesday a US$3.59mn road bridge in the border with Guatemala.

The La Hermandad bridge is on the Anguiatú border crossing, in Santa Ana department.

Built under the strategic road infrastructure program for the departments of Ahuachapán, Santa Ana and La Libertad, the four-lane, 40.4m bridge was funded by the Fondos Yucatán agreement.

Signed in 2015, the deal involves US$145mn in financing to fund four strategic road infrastructure projects in El Salvador, the others being widening the road to La Libertad port, construction of a bypass around the port and the Manuel José Arce border crossing bridge.

Some US$66mn of the amount was donated by the Mexican government.
