Overview
- Salta officials confirmed a full replacement of the condemned Santa Lucía bridge after a February 9 pile failure and irreversible structural damage.
- Mayor Emiliano Durand said the new Santa Lucía bridge will feature four lanes with dedicated pedestrian and bicycle crossings.
- In Santa Fe, the province will finance and tender a new bridge over Laguna Setúbal using existing railway pillars between El Faro and Paseo de la Laguna.
- Provincial public works chief Marcelo Pascualón said the Setúbal project is in the anteproyecto stage, targeting an 8‑meter deck that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists and could allow light vehicles if needed.
- Prior UNL and UTN studies found the Setúbal pillars suitable for reuse, while a local councilor urged parallel action to remediate a nearby abandoned property on the costanera.
