Governor of Buenos Aires Province, Axel Kicillof, announced the start of a new road project in the middle of the 2026 summer season. The objective is to continue improving the roads that connect the City of Buenos Aires and the Buenos Aires metropolitan area with the Atlantic coast. According to the Argentine News Agency, these are works that will expand and improve Provincial Route 11, which is already being intervened to be converted into a highway throughout its entire length. In this new phase, the planning contemplates tasks on the stretch between Mar de Ajó and Pinamar. In the provincial leader's words, they will require a multimillion-dollar investment: 'In a short time, we will be able to see how the works on Route 11 begin, on the stretch that goes from Mar de Ajó to Pinamar.' The tasks cover a total of 48 kilometers in length. The investment will be made with funds that the Kicillof administration managed and secured: 'It's a credit, we got it and it's there,' the governor summarized. The works will bring three main improvements: greater road safety, optimization of travel times, and strengthening of the tourist and productive infrastructure. It is a key corridor both for the summer season and for economic activity year-round, especially for tourism, commerce, and services. In this way, the transformation of the Route 11 road corridor, fundamental for tourist, economic, productive, and service development, continues. A second carriageway and repaving are already being built from Villa Gesell to Mar Chiquita along 72.4 kilometers. Thus, the map of works in the Buenos Aires coastal region continues to expand.
