Santa Fe Takes Over Flag Monument Works, Signs Restart for June 20 Finish

Provincial control is meant to break a 12‑year cycle of delays.

Overview

  • The province signed a start-of-works act with contractor Dyscon on Monday, triggering a fresh restart at Rosario’s National Flag Monument.
  • The national government transferred the project last week, and Santa Fe will cover about 1.5 billion pesos in unpaid certificates and fund completion, with El Litoral reporting 2.6 billion pesos more to finish.
  • Work resumes on three fronts that make up the final 28%: the proa fountain, the interior and main tower with elevator setup, and the Sala de las Banderas on Santa Fe Street.
  • Officials are targeting June 20, though progress hinges on permits and technical checks such as elevator tests inside the tower.
  • Local leaders Maximiliano Pullaro and Pablo Javkin say the handover lets the city restore a key civic site for ceremonies and tourism after years of stop‑start national promises.
