While reports from the Kirchnerist sectors systematically claim that the halt to traditional public works would leave the country devoid of road infrastructure, the reality on the ground exposes the success of the model promoted by the administration of Javier Milei. In the face of accusations of abandonment, the transition to private concession on the vital arteries of the Argentine Republic demonstrates that business efficiency and the private sector achieve results in the modernization of national roads.
The flagship case of this transformation is the National Route 14 (along with sections of National Route 12), a key corridor for production and commerce. Just 8 months after the start of the concession contract, assumed by the operating company in January 2026, the improvements in value enhancement, road recovery, horizontal marking, lighting, and maintenance show a change in scenario compared to the previous state.
According to a statement issued by Autovía del Mercosur, the corridor is undergoing an intensive remodeling process aimed at providing adequate circulation conditions for users.
One of the central milestones that dismantles the opposing rhetoric is the recent technical validation of the project. The National Road Directorate officially certified the value enhancement of the section between the towns of Zárate and Gualeguaychú, corresponding to the first 200 kilometers of the route.
In this stretch, the required parameters were not only fully met but were executed ahead of the estimated time in the original concession schedule, marking progress within the operational plan.
At kilometers 227.70; 234.90; 240.50 and 257.50, tasks of road recovery, application of horizontal marking, installation of barriers, and comprehensive improvements of the road infrastructure have been completed.
At kilometers 243.90 and 244.50, areas that suffered severe structural deficiencies, a renewed nighttime lighting system was implemented along with continuous work on horizontal marking and maintenance, optimizing visibility and road safety for pedestrians.
Additionally, various additional work fronts remain active on National Route 12 and National Route 14, anticipating new stages of work throughout the corridor.
The impact of this operational scheme has resonated in the political and media spheres. As a result of these works and the dissemination of the news, the libertarian influencer and host of the program "La Misa" on the streaming channel Carajo, Daniel Parisini (popularly known as "El Gordo Dan"), expressed through the social network X: "Finally, gentlemen: it is happening. Long live the private sector, long live President Javier Milei". Thus, the data from the road management refutes the criticisms from Kirchnerism regarding the maintenance of roads under the current government scheme.
