Argentina starts revamp of 120km freight railway stretch
Argentina's transport ministry started rehabilitation works on the C8 stretch of the Belgrano Cargas railway network, which has been inactive for 30 years. Works are part of the government's US$2.9bn push to renovate 1,800km of lines.
The 120km stretch spans the provinces of Salta, Santiago del Estero and Tucumán, and works will demand an investment of 3bn pesos (US$82mn), the transport ministry said in a press release.
Works are expected to be finished by the third quarter of 2020. Once completed, the rehabilitated stretch is expected to increase the transport capacity of the railway network by 2Mtn per year.
In the overall plan to renovate the freight network, so far works have been finished on 580km, while works are underway at 530km and 80km remain to be awarded.
The Belgrano Cargas project is also part of a US$8.8bn investment for the country's rail system, which also includes projects such as the Vaca Muerta rail link. In total, the federal administration aims to renovate over 9,850km of rails.
