Details of the ProjectScope: Pavement of 11 km (mentioned in his package of legislative proposals) or 12 km (most recent community updates). The slight variation likely reflects rounding or refinement during planning. It targets the road in the Cangrejal River basin, an important tourism and local access route that includes sections toward Yaruca and nearby communities like Las Mangas.
Purpose: Improve mobility, reduce vehicle damage, enhance road safety, boost tourism, and serve as an “economic detonator” for the area by attracting more visitors and opportunities.
Status (as of March 2026):It is a Proyecto de Ley (bill/project of law) presented by Marco Midence in the National Congress.
Currently in the socialization stage — public consultations and community meetings have been held (e.g., in Las Mangas in late March 2026) to gather input from residents.
Midence has emphasized support from the congressional block, the Executive branch, and local authorities.
The project is listed as “EN PROCESO” (in process) on congressional records under the “Derecho al Desarrollo” category.
It forms part of a broader package of 10 legislative initiatives focused on employment generation, infrastructure, and tourism development that Midence presented in February 2026.
Important ClarificationThis is not yet an awarded contract or active construction. It remains at the legislative proposal and community consultation phase. If approved and funded by Congress and the Executive, ex*****on would likely fall to the Secretaría de Infraestructura y Transporte (SIT), possibly through future tenders on HonduCompras.No recent HonduCompras processes directly tie to this specific 11–12 km paving project (existing tenders remain focused on routine maintenance or smaller segments, as previously noted).Marco Midence has been vocal about the road on his social media (Facebook and Instagram
), sharing videos and photos from community meetings and emphasizing its long-awaited nature (described by some locals as a dream project for over 30 years).
