The decay of national roads is in doubt in the future functioning of routes.
This measure expands the intervention of the Ministry of Economics, led by Luis Kaputo, which will also absorb the functions of the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV) and the National Commission on Road Safety (CNTISV), dissolved by the same indication of 461/2025.
Various organizations devoted to transportation warn that the impact of driving on unsafe routes is damaged by all users of the road network from the probability of injuries and even losing life in a road event.
The case of road transport is special, as it pays an annual mass of 850,000 million dollars. The United States through liquid fuel tax (ICL), but as a state of routes loses competitiveness and invests its assets in the game.
From the Cargo Autotransport (Fadeac) Business Organizations, they ask the government to “urgently turn back the national emergency in the field of road infrastructure” so that the country’s routes and paths of “urgently” are renovated.
“Despite the fact that together with other business organizations we warned about the poor state of routes, the current situation has become a really critical,” said Christian Sans, the President of Fadeac and explained: “Today we are faced with the emergency situation of the national situation, and this leads to an increase in the incidents on the road, in many cases with loss of lives.”
Transportation is the greatest participation in ICL, carriers emphasize, since they are the main consumer of Argentina diesel fuel.
Depending on the level of economic activity, the consumption of fuel in the sector is about 6,000 million liters per year, which is equivalent to 45% of 14,000 million of the total number of liters per year.
According to its own study, at an average national price of a gas gas of $ 1328, each truck brings about $ 145 per liter of fuel for ICL or annual mass, which is about $ 850,000 million.
As provided, this tax is used for the trustee of the integrated road system (Sisvial), created in Argentina to finance road works, but since December 2023, execution has significantly decreased.
Despite the millions that retain the staff in the private sector, the technical examination by Fadeac for more than 22,000 kilometers of routes with geolocation, photographs and videos, over the past 4 years, reflected that the drivers of trucks travel Adía: routes full of craters, without signs, with disappearing benches and approaching the edge. “The road network is outdated from economic growth and requires immediate attention,” Sanz said.
While the work was taken to provincial and national authorities, the responsible ones did not take part in it.
Step with Brazil
Delia Flores, a business woman specializing in Mercosur, expressed deep concern about the deterioration of the international bridge, which combines free passage with Brazil and the lack of achievements in key works of road infrastructure.
“The bridge has never been as bad as it is now,” warned, describing how “national shame” of the rejection of one of the crosses that connect Argentina with Brazil, the main commercial partner.
The business leader explained that “palliative” agreements are currently accepted in the Argentinean leader of the bridge, which is responsible for the national road with promises to continue half the structure; “They are superficial works, simple asphalt,” he said and noted that with 1000 trucks of 40 tons per day, “it does not last more than a couple of months”
Roberto Rivero, the Executive Director of FADEAC, said that “the ads is politically not concerned, because they do not change the reality in which the problem of the road, which, as we generated, has a smooth and flat emergency, because the state of the routes is not enough.”
More routes
Although at present it has not been publicly expressed, the Argentine Road Association (ACC) has supported the existence of Autarkic Entity as a governing body of the road system throughout its history.
Recently, Emma Albrier, ACC President, emphasized the role of national roads to solve serious infrastructure problems that caused a tragic flood in the Bachia Blanca: “They could answer with her staff and her teams and begin to solve all the inconvenience that were caused.”
“We think that DNV can be reorganized, modernized, even change its structure to make it more effective, but it cannot disappear,” he said: “On the contrary, the country needs that the country needs even more.”
The cost of a millionaire
From the Fadeac and 42 cameras that it represents throughout the country, they value the announcement of the National Government of the New Federal Concession Network (RFC), the initiative that will allow a tender of 9100 kilometers of national road corridors.
Despite this, since these are long processes, they indicated that while the trading processes are moving, route and road repairs may encounter part of what is collected in the ICL concept.
According to investments in investments in the IAG road infrastructure, capital costs fell, on average by 82% in real conditions, and in 2025 capital costs remain without recovery: from January to May 2025, 75% less in the road network were accrued, as in the same period of 2023.
According to estimates by the Argentine Construction Chamber (Camarco), the annual cost of maintenance of the Argentina system (national and provincial routes) is 4213 million US dollars.
“The infrastructure is destroyed and worsened very quickly when it is not invested, and maintenance and construction have time and money,” IAG said and noted that from the point of view of routes, “cheaply expensive road safety and taxpayer taxes”.
