Organization of the National Highway Directorate (Vialidad) II. Implementation Schedule MAP IBRD 14225 - Uruguay Second Highway Project I. THE TRANSPORT SECTOR A. General 1.01 Uruguay is a small fertile country with a population of less than three million, bordered by the two largest countries in South America, Argentina and Brazil. The country is endowed with a relative abundance of land, well suited to agriculture and grazing, and a pleasant temperate climate. The concentration of Uruguay's commercial activity and population in the Capital of Montevideo is reflected in the country's transport system. The interior, with relatively flat terrain, main rivers at boundaries, and low density agricultural activity, offered no obstacles to development of radial roads and rail networks, extending north, east and west from the metropolitan region around the seaport of Montevideo. Of the total freight traffic actually carried within the country in 1976, roads accounted for about 73%, rail 20% and water 7%. B. The Transport System (i) Highways 1.02 The principal problem of the road subsector as a whole is its aged and seriously deteriorated national network, notably the main international connections. The highway subsector is reviewed in detail in Chapter II. (ii) Railways 1.03 Uruguay's railways were owned and operated by a British company for about 65 years (to 1949). The concession terms promoted construction of a large network, 3,000 km, radiating in five lines from Montevideo. To compete with the railway, the Uruguayan Government constructed roads paralleling many of the rail lines, and the British company ceased further investments after 1926. Consequently, the Uruguayan Government purchased an obsolete railway in 1949. The Administracion de los Ferrocarriles del Estado (AFE), a semi- autonomous Government agency, was set up in 1952 to operate the railways. AFE began replacing steam locomotives with diesel-electrics, but did not improve the obsolete permanent way and equipment. The intervening 26 years have seen a further deterioration in the condition of the railways through decapitaliza- tion. Inevitably, the quality of service has fallen markedly, being reflected in rapidly declining passenger and freight traffic. Several connections exist with the Argentine and Brazilian systems, but, in the latter case, because of difference in gauges, transshipment is necessary. By 1972, the railways reached, possibly, their lowest point. Permanent way was completely worn out (61% of rails were pre-1920) and ballast was largely non-existent; rolling stock was obsolete and diesel-electric locomotives were more than 20 years old; communications and signaling equipment were antiquated. Workshops were old, and maintenance equipment worn out and obsolete, making repair work inefficient; stations were old and decrepit. A recovery plan was drawn up in 1973, but without a concrete program of long-term investments; it included - 2 - purchase of rolling stock and modern workshop equipment. Some rolling stock has been acquired from the United States and Hungary. A program of mechanical processing of ballast is in progress, but no sleeper or rail replacementpro- gram is planned. 1.04 Despite its deterioratedcondition, the railway network still carries 20% of Uruguay's freight and passenger traffic. Therefore, although traffic has declined markedly, the railways retain a significantrole in meeting the country's transportneeds. Passenger traffic has halved since the early 1950s to the 1972 level of 343 million pass-km. No substantial long distance passenger traffic exists today, with the major part of traffic con- sisting of suburban commuter-typedemand, concentratedwithin 100 km of Montevideo. In this area, passenger numbers are still relatively substantial, and quality improvementsmight induce sufficient new riders to justify some moderate passenger service upgrading. Freight traffic had, by 1975, fallen to 290 million ton-km compared with 445 million ton-km in 1965. Principal items of freight are calcareous rock (not a high revenue earner by weight), rice, and, of lesser importance,other grains, sugar and fertilizers. The only lines with significanttraffic levels are the Salto-Artigas,Mercedes and Rio Branco lines. The new connection with the Argentine system at Salto has persuaded AFE to commence constructionof the 50-km connection of the Paysandu and Mercedes lines. AFE's cheap labor and second-handmaterials are minimizing the financial cost of the link.

    2021 LIMITED ACCESS STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAYS As of December 31, 2020 CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF Transportation BUREAU OF POLICY AND PLANNING Office of Roadway Information Systems Roadway INVENTORY SECTION INTRODUCTION Each year, the Roadway Inventory Section within the Office of Roadway Information Systems produces this document entitled "Limited Access - State Numbered Highways," which lists all the limited access state highways in Connecticut. Limited access highways are defined as those that the Commissioner, with the advice and consent of the Governor and the Attorney General, designates as limited access highways to allow access only at highway intersections or designated points. This is provided by Section 13b-27 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This document is distributed within the Department of Transportation and the Division Office of the Federal Highway Administration for information and use. The primary purpose to produce this document is to provide a certified copy to the Office of the State Traffic Administration (OSTA). The OSTA utilizes this annual listing to comply with Section 14-298 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This statute, among other directives, requires the OSTA to publish annually a list of limited access highways. In compliance with this statute, each year the OSTA publishes the listing on the Department of Transportation’s website (http://www.ct.gov/dot/osta). The following is a complete listing of all state numbered limited access highways in Connecticut and includes copies of Connecticut General Statute Section 13b-27 (Limited Access Highways) and Section 14-298 (Office of the State Traffic Administration). It should be noted that only those highways having a State Route Number, State Road Number, Interstate Route Number or United States Route Number are listed.

These rivers are the boundaries with Brazil and Argentina and most of the waterways are under joint management. This inland water transport is mainly used for international trade cargo. Principal export/import ports are described below: – Concepción Port: Located 1,940 km from Buenos Aires and in the independent management section of the Paraguay River running through Paraguay. This port is mainly used to load beans on vessels. – Asuncion Port: Located 1,630 km from Buenos Aires, this port is used for cotton export and principal everyday commodities, such as general cargoes and automobiles, are imported in containers via the Paraguay River. – Villeta Port: Located 37km to the south of Asuncion Port and used for export of beans and cotton. – Villa Hayes Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the import of steel making raw materials. – Villa Elisa Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the import of oils. – San Antonio Port: Located near Asuncion and used for the export of beans. – Vallemi Port: Port to import cement raw materials. – Encarnación: Located on the Parana River, 1,583km from Buenos Aires, and used for the export of beans.

Country and sector issues General Economic Context Between 1999 and 2001 Uruguay endured a prolonged economic recession that ended in a deep crisis in 2002. The slowdown was prompted by several external shocks: Brazilian devaluation (1999), foot and mouth disease outbreak (2001), and weak commodity prices and oil price increases. However, it was the Argentine debt, currency and financial crisis of 2002 that Public Disclosure Authorized triggered the crisis and output collapse in Uruguay. As a result, income inequality and unemployment rose (the latter increased from 11.4 percent in 1999 to 19.7. percent in late 2002), and the fiscal situation deteriorated (fiscal deficit increased from 1 percent of GDP in the 1990s to 4 percent in 2001). 1 Furthermore, a sharp devaluation of the peso in 2002 worsened public debt indicators because a large share of both domestic and foreign debt was held in dollars. The fiscal pressures exerted by the crisis together with a traditionally large participation of the public sector in the provision of infrastructure services, adversely affected their delivery and consequently, the competitiveness of the economy.
