Statement from the Government of the Province of Santa Fe
This is an automated translation of the press release issued in Spanish
The Minister of Public Works, Lisandro Enrico, provided details of the repairs that the Government of Santa Fe will finance on routes in the province, especially in the south of the territory, within the framework of the works that will be carried out on more than 1,000 kilometers of routes. provincial.
The tender was carried out the previous week by the Provincial Government, through Provincial Roads, with the objective of recovering the state of the road infrastructure in the departments of La Capital, Rosario, San Lorenzo, Iriondo, San Jerónimo and Las Colonias. These are repairs in 58 sections of 38 routes, simultaneously and independently, given the extension of the areas, which cover these six departments.
In that sense, during a press conference that took place in the Walsh Room of the Government Headquarters in Rosario, Enrico highlighted that "in Santa Fe we have 4,600 kilometers of provincial routes and there are 2,800 kilometers of national routes" and added that "a Starting in February, we strongly began a plan to repair routes throughout the province, so this is a second stage that we put out to tender last week, which is 1,100 kilometers with the aim of improving security, connectivity and integration.”
Next, the Minister of Public Works listed that in Rosario work will be done “on routes that enter the port area, such as RPN.º 14, RPN.º 18, RPN.º 16, and Route 21, in addition we are doing double lane work, in addition to routes such as 20S, 22S or 255S. Likewise, we have already started Jorge Newbery Avenue, an avenue that is going to be made new, with double lanes, with a strong water drainage work, and a new bridge over the Ludueña Stream", to which he added: "In San Lorenzo They are also routes close to the port area and Route 25S, which is an access work to the Port, which we are about to start. In the Iriondo department, we are already doing other repairs and new works, such as access to Timbúes. And in the La Capital department, work will be done on routes that go north such as RPN.°1, RPN.° 2 and RPN.°4.”
Lower costs
“The budget that the Province proposed for this work is 3,839,960 million,” said Enrico, while highlighting: “This price arises from certain items such as well repair, surface patching, recycling (which is the breakage of the asphalt ), asphalt folder, among others and each item has a value. Regarding the repairs to potholes that have been carried out until now - which were contracts of the previous administration - in some cases this contract that we present today, compared to others, in other parts of the province, is 50% cheaper, in some contracts 80%, 90%, 76%, 21%, that is, we greatly reduced the cost of public works. What we have done here is to concentrate all these departments in a single contract, in a single tender so that there is more competition, so that companies do not distribute different tenders, but rather they all directly submit to compete in a single tender. This is very important because it means a strong decrease, with an average of 70% in relation to the tender that was made in 2023, regarding the costs of the work.”
Repair of national routes
“The national routes have to be repaired by the Nation with national funds, although at the beginning of this administration Santa Fe helped the Nation with asphalt, we have delivered tons and tons of asphalt so that they can repair their own routes,” Enrico said about the lack. maintenance on routes that depend on the Nation .
He also stated that "on Thursday at 11 in the morning the governor of the Province will be in the Federal Capital meeting with the new National Director of Roads (Marcelo Campoy) due to the problem of the routes, the lack of attention, the lack of grass cutting and the most basic problems", while he once again stressed that "the maintenance and repair of a route is a legal obligation that the Federal State has, it is not an option of doing or not doing work. You have to repair the route, because if not people are going to kill themselves avoiding wells. Then they have to cut the grass, shod the shoulder and repair the wells. They don't do that, but they haven't done it for 8 months with this administration and they haven't been doing it before either. That is what we want to change and why Santa Fe presented its project asking them to transfer a route. We are in charge, don't do any work on us, give us the route, we will make sure that it is a circulation area with new works, with third lanes and managing it," he concluded.
