Project scope and objective
The Project includes the rehabilitation, administration, operation, maintenance and complementary works of the CA-9 South “A” Escuintla – Puerto Quetzal highway (between Km 60+900 to 102+100). The existing 41.20 km long road is a dual carriageway route with two lanes in each direction. The main objective of the project is to raise the route to highway level, improving its geometric conditions and operational infrastructure, which meets high service standards that meet current traffic capacity requirements and expected demand, improving service levels, safety and comfort, promoting the development of the region.
The Escuintla – Puerto Quetzal Highway project corresponds to the first initiative of the Ministry of Communications, Infrastructure and Housing (CIV) under the Public Private Partnerships (PPP) model of Guatemala.
