The new segment, stretching from Tupilapa to Masachapa, spans 30 kilometers; this completes the first 119 kilometers built along the southern Pacific coast, benefiting over a million people.

The Coastal Corridor is seen as a significant achievement of the Sandinista Government, as it facilitates access to some 62 beaches and creates new opportunities for families by strengthening local entrepreneurship and employment.

The project also helps stimulate trade by boosting the fishing industry and enhancing domestic and international tourism as drivers of economic and social growth in this Central American nation.

In its entirety, the modern roadway is designed as a 335-kilometer corridor along the Pacific coast, intended to transform mobility in a region that is key to the development of tourism, fishing, and agriculture.

The project is part of the road modernization process promoted by the Government over the last 19 years—a period during which the country has achieved a network of over 5,600 kilometers of highways in excellent condition, representing growth of more than 700 percent and a direct impact on families’ quality of life.
