On the other hand, he announced that they are about to enable traffic at the San Juan Opico overpass, since they have already placed the concrete on the last ramp. “For quality control, we are waiting for the hydraulic concrete to reach its adequate resistance to enable vehicular traffic,” said the official.

He also explained that in the coming months, the engineering design of the road project that will be executed in the kilómetro 5 section to Acajutla and the Litoral highway will be completed. This area will be impacted due to the high flow of vehicular traffic.
