Manta is on the verge of experiencing the most ambitious road infrastructure transformation in its history. With 70 kilometers of roads being repaved and an investment of $12 million, this major project aims to enhance mobility and improve the quality of life for over 271,000 residents.
The installation of new potable water and sewage networks in over 90 neighborhoods has left many streets in poor condition, making repaving a top priority. This plan will cover more than 100 roads, restoring their safety and functionality for all users.
Additionally, in several key areas, sidewalks and curbs will be built to promote a more accessible and pedestrian-friendly city. This project will not only improve Manta’s road infrastructure but will also boost economic activity and tourism.
