Minister of Public Works Gonzalo Castillo has confirmed that the long-awaited Santiago bypass highway will be ready in February. The inaugural date is scheduled for 22 or 26 February. Listin Diario reports that Minister Castillo inspected the works carried out by the Odebrecht-Estrella building consortium at an estimated cost of US$95 million. “This is a high quality work meeting all the international standards that will be the pride of the people of Santiago,” he said, as reported in Listin Diario. He said that once the bypass is in use, the government would ensure that secondary roads and sidewalks are paved in the communities in the vicinity of the highway.
