Escuintla - Puerto Quetzal Highway PPP Project

project in construction

The project involves the development of a 42 km long highway section connecting Escuintla to Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala.  This route will transform the current road section of the Central American route CA-9 South "A", which connects the municipality of Escuintla with Puerto Quetzal, from 60.9 km to 102.1 km, on a highway with high-quality standards and high levels of service. The scope of work also involves the construction of supporting facilities such as Cranes, emergency telephones, rest areas, and parking bays. The Escuintla - Puerto Quetzal Highway will provide a better service for the users of the 10,000 light vehicles, 3,800 heavy vehicles, and more than 1,200 buses that circulate every day in the place. The section represents an important logistic corridor for the country because it communicates the metropolitan area with Puerto Quetzal, a terminal that moves more than 50% of imports and exports by sea. In addition, the section connects users with important tourist sites in the Pacific and industrial and real estate projects.
