With the aim of improving passability and road safety in critical sections of the national network, the Provincial Highway Directorate (DPV) of Jujuy and the National Highway Directorate (DNV) formalized a strategic collaboration agreement. The agreement, announced by the provincial director of the agency, Hugo Ponce, establishes a joint work scheme where both jurisdictions contribute specific resources for maintenance and repair tasks. The province will provide necessary materials to improve passability and road safety.<\/p>\n
The agreement, signed between Ponce and the General Administrator of National Roads, Marcelo Campoy, stipulates a clear division of responsibilities: the province will provide the necessary materials \u2013 such as concrete, cold mixing and fuel \u2013 while the national agency will be in charge of providing heavy machinery and specialized labor.<\/p>\n
Strategic points<\/strong><\/p>\n Ponce clarified that the agreement does not contemplate the comprehensive maintenance of the routes, but focuses on “strategic points” previously evaluated by the technical teams. Among the scheduled interventions are the integral patching of collectors on both sides of National Route 66, the repair of collectors on National Route 9 in the section between the Sargento Cabral neighborhood and the Paraguay bridge of the capital of Jujuy. In addition, the construction of 13 reinforced concrete docks over the collectors, which Ponce highlighted as “essential” to avoid the rapid deterioration of the shoulders caused by the ascent and descent of public transport passengers.<\/p>\n Specific works will also be carried out on the access to the San Lorenzo bridge and in the traffic light sector of the town of Fraile Pintado and a 170-meter section will be cold repaved at the southern access to the Sora bridge on National Route 34, currently made up of gravel.<\/p>\n Additionally, the agreement provides for the supply of fuel by the province for the National Highway Authority to carry out weeding tasks on National Routes 66 and 9. “We must be clear that this new agreement is strictly limited to the detailed tasks for the collectors and defined critical points,” Ponce stressed.<\/p>\n Deadlines and continuity<\/strong><\/p>\n The agreement will be valid for one year, although Ponce estimated that, due to the nature of the tasks, the work could be completed before that deadline. Finally, the head of the DPV referred to the continuity of the Transfers of Operational Functions (TFO). This current scheme allows the province to carry out the maintenance of specific sections of routes 52 and 40 \u2013 including sectors such as the Quebrada del Mal Paso up to the border with Chile \u2013 whose operating costs are subsequently certified and reimbursed by the national government.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With the aim of improving passability and road safety in critical sections of the national network, the Provincial Highway Directorate (DPV) of Jujuy and the National Highway Directorate (DNV) formalized a strategic collaboration agreement.
