According to the deadlines, the regional director of Serviu, Rodrigo Uribe Barahonain Viña del Mar they will be executed in 154 consecutive days, while in Quilpué in 84 consecutive days.
“The focus of urban recovery is on neighborhood impact works that allow greater road connection, public spaces that are safe points and that mitigate emergencies. A clear example of this is the paving of the first streets of Viña del Mar and Quilpué. We are talking about 432 linear meters of pavements that will benefit more than 50 families directly and entire communities. These are streets that today are dirt, impassable in the winter and that make traffic difficult in the event of an emergency situation. Therefore, we are very happy to begin these works in June that will improve the quality of life of families and equip the neighborhoods.”, specified the director of Serviu.

The investment exceeds $500 billion, has short, medium and long-term terms and advances in parallel with housing reconstruction.”
