The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure is putting out to tender a two-lane extension of a 12-kilometer section of the road to Nuevo León, and the construction of cycle lanes and marginal streets.
With funding from the Japanese International Cooperation Agency, four bridges will be built on the road linking the municipalities of Rio Blanco and Siuna in the North Caribbean.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport explained that the bridges to be built are Mulukukú, Lisawe, Labú and Prinzapolka, each with a length of 174 meters, 80, 90 and 92 meters, respectively. The bridges will be built on the road that connects the municipalities of Río Blanco and Siuna, in the North Caribbean.
The new content of the new regulation is structured thematically, and integrates some international elements in order to improve the quality of constructions.
It has been announced that in the coming weeks publication will be made of a new national building code, which is divided into different documents according to the type of material used.
Maycol Rugama, from the Department of Studies and Technology Construction Standards at the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MTI), told Laprensa.com.ni that with this update documents will be separated into different standards for reinforced concrete, masonry, structural steel and electricwire systems."
The Ortega administration has announced that using financing from the CABEI a 52 kilometer hydraulic concrete highway will be built from Laguna de Perlas and Kukra Hill, in the Caribbean.
According to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, the loan from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE) will be for $65 million and will be used for construction of the road.
The country needs to double the 4,000 kilometers of existing roads in order to improve land connectivity among the 153 municipalities, mainly in the Caribbean.
Although public investment in road infrastructure has increased in recent years, in order to exploit the full potential of economic development, the existing road network needs to be doubled in order to achieve an "acceptable land connection".
The construction company Santa Fe has signed a contract with the government to start construction in two months time, of two sections of the Mulukukú- Siuna road measuring 23 and 21 kilometers.
The $40 million required to carry out the roadworks will come from a $149 million loan signed with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE) in early 2015.
The IDB is providing $40 million in financing for construction of power substations in the north and $90 million for renovation of roads in Jinotega and Chontales.
From a statement issued by the National Assembly of Nicaragua:
With the plans to build a highway between the Pacific and the Caribbean coast in mind, a proposal has been made to build a port in Bluefields, instead of the one planned in Monkey Point.
The Nicaraguan government announced that it has asked Taiwan to collaborate in order to finalize the project, and that the decision to change the location responds to the new road that will connect the Pacific and the Caribbean, precisely with the city of Bluefields.
Together with two Korean companies a Master Road Plan for the country is being developed which foresees the construction and renovation of 4,500 kilometers of roads in the next twenty years.
From a statement issued by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI):
The National Assembly has approved a loan from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration for hydraulic cement paving of 45 kms of the stretch passing through La Gateada- Naciones Unidas - Bluefields.
From a statement issued by the National Assembly of Nicaragua:
The Nicaraguan government is preparing transportconcessions which will be granted from 2015 to cover the route that will connect Costa Rica once the Las Tablillas-San Pancho border post is finished.
It is expected that in the first three months of 2015 the results will be ready of a study that will determine the number of buses needed to meet the demand of passengers emerging with the opening of the route between San Pancho and Las Tablillas. With the results the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will be able to deliver the corresponding permits.
For a period of 30 days, the number of trips per month that can be made by the Costa Rican transport companies Tica Bus and Transnica, from Managua to Costa Rica, will be reduced from three to two.
This administrative penalty imposed by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MTI) comes after the companies Tica Bus and Transnica were asked to improve conditions on the tours they provide including seats at bus stops and toilet services on the buses.
The government has announced the construction of 80 kilometers of roads in the north of the country with funds loaned and donated by the World Bank.
Construction of road is expected to start between the towns of El Cua and Wiwilí towards Santa María de Pantasma, in Jinotega, before the end of the year.
A road connecting Bluefields in the east to the Pacific will be the main factor for development in the area.
The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MTI) will invest $20 million on building an 80-kilometer track that will connect the Nicaraguan Caribbean with the Pacific, while it obtains financing for the construction of a paved road.
