According to the interactive information system"Construction Projects in Guatemala", complied by the Business Intelligence Unit at CentralAmericaData,Tramo SB-3, S.A.submitted an Environmental Impact Study (EIA) called "Vía SB-3", to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources in March 2017.
This new route will be able to connect to thealready existing AlternateRoute of the South (Vía Alterna del Sur or VAS in Spanish), which would enable some of the traffic that does not need to enter the capital city to be diverted to the CA-9 highway.
The project consists of the construction of a new Private Road, for use as an expedited route with controlled entry and exits, to connect Route CA-01 Oriente (Road to El Salvador) with the Departmental Route RDGUA-01 (Calle a Villa Canales) .
The SB-3 route will have a main corridor of 6 lanes, 3 circulating in each direction, a length of 8.67 kilometers, at the level of the central line and will have five intersections that total 7.75 kilometers of axes.
This project, in addition to allowing a connection between Carretera to El Salvador (CA-01 Oriente) and the Route to the Pacific (CA-9), will also complement the project"Vía Exprés Nor-Oriente" promoted by the National Agency of Alliances for the Development of Economic Infrastructure (ANADIE). Since theVíaExprésNor-Orienteconsists of the construction of a toll road that will connect the Road to the Atlantic with the Highway to El Salvador, which in turn will connect to the second phase of the private road Vía de Acceso del SurSB-3), at kilometer 25 of the highway to El Salvador.

Private investors are planning to build a four-lane highway, 31 kilometers long, which would serve as a beltway for vehicles passing through the municipalities of San Bernardino, Mazatenango and Cuyotenango, department of Suchitepéquez.
This new investment would be executed in a format similar to that of the Via Alterna del Sur (VAS), which is private and operates on a toll basis, and crosses the southern municipalities of the metropolitan area between these Villa Nueva and Villa Canales, in the department of Guatemala.
It is expected that the section of the Via Alterna del Sur that will connect the municipality of Villa Canales with Zone 21 of the Guatemalan capital will begin operating at the end of next year.
The new section being built on the Via Alterna del Sur (VAS) will be about 7 kilometers long and will connect the municipality of Villa Canales with the Atanasio Tzul roadway in Guatemala City.
In Guatemala a proposal has been made for private companies to build toll roads, where, in some cases the State pays for the tolls, instead of charging road users.
The proposal of this investment model was raised in the context of the National Entrepreneurs Encounter (Enade), focused this year on the theme of infrastructure.
Preparations are being made for the renovation and expansion of 41 kilometers of the route between the department of Santa Rosa and Jutiapa, estimated at $45 million.
The General Department of Roads at the Ministry of Communications, Infrastructure and Housing has presented the Environmental Impact Study for the renovation and extension of 41 kilometers of route CA-8 between Oratorio and Valle Nuevo, near the border with El Salvador.
