Since the Municipality of San Juan’s “Tus Calles Al Día” program began in October 2021, with an investment of over $90.5 million, over a million tons of asphalt have been deposited, resulting in more than 2,479 streets fully repaved throughout the municipality.
Mayor Miguel Romero Lugo said Thursday that the third phase of the project “continues with repair work to add some 584 roads in the coming weeks.”
“Certainly, this is one of the most aggressive and ambitious programs that we have undertaken under my administration to achieve the repair and improvement of roads in San Juan,” he said.
The program, which was divided into three phases, has impacted over 851.58 miles in 115 communities and sectors of San Juan.
In recent weeks, work has begun in areas such as Montehiedra, the 2nd Extension of Country Club, Mileaville-García and Domenech Avenue. During this week, the Tus Calles Al Día program will reach Paseo del Prado, Paseo Sereno, Floral Park, Caminos de Cupey and Comunidad Hoyo.
Meanwhile, work will begin this month on streets in La Colectora, Villa Capri, El Vedado, Urb. Roosevelt, Club Manor, Venezuela and Capetillo.
The mayor added that “since I took over the municipal administration of San Juan, working to improve the conditions of our streets, avenues and municipal roads has been one of the priorities in terms of infrastructure.”
“Taking care of the streets of the people of San Juan was a commitment I made before the 2020 elections and I am pleased to announce that we are managing to fulfill it,” Romero Lugo said.
Although the Tus Calles Al Día program was designed to repair municipal roads, “we have adopted state areas because we recognize the importance of improvements being in line with our vision of the city and for this it is necessary to leave the territorial limits and cover the needs of San Juan,” the mayor stressed.
The third phase of the program will continue with repaving works in the urban area of Río Piedras and the Hill Mansion and Litheda neighborhoods, to name a few.
The first phase culminated with an investment of more than $32 million and 969 streets were repaired with 244,161.95 tons of asphalt deposited.
In the second phase, over $32 million was invested, in which 621,279.67 tons of asphalt were laid on 890 streets. In the third phase, some 584 streets will be added with an investment of over $24 million.
