Before the end of the year, you will be able to travel along Regional Avenue, between Ancón and Mayorca, without fear of falling into one of the 45 holes that EL COLOMBIANO recorded in the area.
This was announced yesterday by the director of the Metropolitan Area, Juan David Palacio. With this, Palacio argued, mobility in the south of the Aburrá Valley, today affected by the poor condition of the road, will improve.
The director of the territorial entity warned that the cost of the intervention, defined as an emergency patch, will cost close to $ 569 million.
The mayor of La Estrella, Juan Sebastian Abad, a municipality that has jurisdiction over that part of the road, offered to lend labor so that the patching actions are duly carried out.
For his part, his pair from Sabaneta, Santiago Montoya, He was optimistic about the announcement and said he was willing to help as much as possible from his location.
“Last Friday we published the final specifications of the abbreviated selection. Our purpose is to make an intervention of the section that includes between the municipality of La Estrella and Sabaneta, and mainly at the height of Mayorca. There, the holes found in the section will be patched. In addition, a complete intervention will be carried out at the height of Mayorca ”, explained Palacio.
It should be remembered that this area has been in poor condition for more than two years. Due to an administrative and jurisdiction dispute, local administrations, as reported by this newspaper last September, were “throwing the ball” of responsibilities. In other words, none of them wanted to take charge of the arrangements, considering that this, being a national highway, should be intervened by the National Highway Institute.
But, in the end, the discussion was resolved and it will be the Metropolitan Area, the entity that built the road in 2000, which will fix the gaps that put the lives of drivers, transport users and cyclists at risk.
In addition to the re-patching, which aims to improve travel times in the south of the Aburrá Valley, another step was taken last Saturday to un-bottle this area.
After fulfilling contractual extensions, the regional avenue distribution road was opened, in the Mayorca-Envigado section. There are three new lanes that will serve to decongest the south.
Braulio Espinosa, the mayor of Envigado, described this work as a historical event for the municipality and thanked the entities for their joint work. The work was executed by the consortium made up of the companies Megaproyecto Vial Siglo XXI SAS and Grucon SAS, with a total investment of $ 56,000 million, according to the Metropolitan Area.
