El Salvador is undergoing a remarkable transformation under the leadership of President Nayib Bukele. In a recent video shared on his official X account, the President highlighted the extensive development of roads, bridges, and highways that have taken place over the past five years, signaling a new era of connectivity and growth for the nation.
“We are carrying out the largest investment in roads and bridges in our history, boosting development, tourism, and mobility in more and more areas of our country. Step by step” expressed President Bukele.
His statement underscores the commitment of the Salvadoran government to revitalize infrastructure across the nation.
From the western region to the eastern borders, significant projects have been completed. Notable achievements include the construction and renovation of the Cerro Verde road and the UNICAES overpass in Santa Ana, along with the Arce Bridge linking El Salvador to Guatemala.
The central region boasts projects such as the Sacacoyo overpass and the Integration Multilevel Overpass in San Salvador. In the eastern part of the country, completions include the impressive Titihuapa Bridge and the Peripheral Gerardo Barrios in San Miguel.
These efforts go beyond mere construction; they represent a strategic enhancement of El Salvador’s connectivity and economic potential.
Exciting projects like the soon-to-be-completed Periférico de Oriente, featuring a 21-kilometer stretch with continuous bike lanes, and the 13-kilometer highway to Punta Mango, part of the Surf City 2 project, are primed to fuel local tourism and economic growth.
