Seven new bridges, collectors and lanes for buses: how is the construction of the highway connecting the City to Ezeiza and how much is left?
The Dellepiane highway transformation project in Argentina is making significant progress with seven new bridges and a dedicated bus lane set to connect the city to Ezeiza.
The renovation of the Dellepiane highway, located mainly in Lugano at the intersection of Piedra Buena Avenue, is seeing extensive construction efforts that include the demolition and rebuilding of both vehicle and pedestrian bridges. This modernization, which is the first major upgrade in over thirty years, aims to enhance traffic flow and public transportation accessibility. Key constructions within this project are focused on the areas between Timoteo Gordillo and General Paz streets.
A notable aspect of the project is the establishment of a new four-meter-wide pedestrian crossing, alongside a central lane exclusively reserved for public transport. This lane will facilitate the movement of eight bus lines currently operating in the area. Furthermore, an additional ten bus lines will be integrated, allowing them to enter and exit neighborhoods without using the highway. This infrastructure is designed to alleviate traffic congestion while promoting efficient public transportation options.
As construction progresses, the project demonstrates a commitment to modernizing the region's transport networks, which will not only improve the commute for residents but also encourage a shift towards more sustainable travel methods. However, the report does not specify the projected completion date, leaving some uncertainty about when the highway's modernization will be fully realized.
