This is nothing more than the first step, which does not mean that it can be carried out immediately, but it is an exclusive condition to be able to seek international financing for the work.

The Pehuenche Pass is not currently enabled for the passage of cargo transport to Chile and this possibility would not be so difficult to achieve, it is just that in winter the weather conditions would not help in the crossing either.

Beyond the results, the Government highlighted the agreement between the three southern departments to carry out a common project agenda as very beneficial. despite having administrations of different political color.
