The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport presented its management report for the fiscal year 2025 to citizens in Pichincha, according to an April 28 statement. The presentation was held in compliance with Article 90 of the Organic Law on Citizen Participation, which requires state institutions to provide accountability to the public.
Yésica Aigaje, zonal undersecretary and acting director for Pichincha District at the ministry, said that more than USD 1.6 million was invested in road infrastructure during the period. The funds were used for maintenance, improvement projects, and emergency response along the State Road Network in the province.
Aigaje said routine maintenance covered 58 kilometers of roads through three microenterprises that created 22 jobs. These groups handled vegetation pruning, minor landslide removal, and drainage cleaning with an investment of USD 109,000. Additional maintenance included work on a section of E20 from Pifo to Napo province (24 kilometers) and on Acceso Sur Tambillo–Curva de Santa Rosa (4.3 kilometers), with a reported investment of USD 7,000.
Emergency response was also addressed during events such as landslides in Cayambe–Cangahua and Lloa sectors. Aigaje said coordinated efforts among institutions allowed technical staff and heavy machinery to be deployed quickly for cleanup operations and road rehabilitation.
According to Aigaje, Pichincha’s State Road Network totals about 501.7 kilometers; out of this figure, roughly 440.3 kilometers are managed under concession by Panavial or delegated to the Provincial Council.
In housing matters, information fairs were organized across eleven parishes so residents could access guidance on obtaining dignified housing. Eighteen files were processed for rural land deeds related to housing needs while over one thousand eight hundred procedures were registered alongside social organizations.
The ministry reiterated its commitment “to continue working towards strengthening road infrastructure, improving national connectivity and contributing to Ecuadorian families’ socioeconomic development.”
