Within the framework of the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial, Mayor Francisco Azcué and the Secretary of Public Works, Fernando Esquibel, toured the curb and gutter and storm drainage works being carried out in different sectors of the city's northeast area, with an investment of 600 million pesos financed entirely with municipal resources.
The works cover sectors of the Nebel, Parque Río Uruguay, and San Carlos neighborhoods, where comprehensive street treatment, curb and gutter construction, and improvements to the storm drainage system are being carried out, benefiting more than 30 blocks and responding to different demands from the residents of the area.
Azcué highlighted that these investments are possible thanks to the process of ordering and optimizing resources, promoted since the beginning of the administration. In this sense, he stressed that “that is why we are so insistent on the need to allocate resources, take care of every peso, and incorporate technology and control systems that allow us to manage better. All that effort is transformed today into infrastructure works and services that are the priorities of the residents,” he pointed out.
The Mayor remarked that these works are fundamental to avoid the deterioration of the streets due to water leaks, intense rainfall, or springs: “when quality works are executed, there is no need to intervene permanently later to repair the same problems.”
Meanwhile, Azcué underlined that “the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial will continue because it depends on us. Today Concordia has its own budget for public works and that allows us to plan, have predictability, and continue allocating more and more resources to infrastructure and services without depending on external financing.”
For his part, Esquibel explained that the work was designed to solve historical problems linked to street maintenance in an area affected by surface water runoff: “we are carrying out a very important intervention for the entire northeast area of the city. Curb and gutter works, storm drains, complete roadbed treatment with soil and gravel, as well as gutters, pothole repairs, and conduit reinforcement are being executed to guarantee proper water drainage. This will have a direct impact on the condition and maintenance of the streets,” maintained Esquibel.
Regarding the investment, he reported that “we are allocating 600 million pesos with 100% municipal funds, which includes not only economic resources but also our own labor and machinery. It is a significant investment that reflects the administration's decision to continue improving urban infrastructure and the quality of life of the residents,” concluded Esquibel.
