One of the projects aimed at improving the rural connection between the districts of Felicia and Nuevo Torino has become a reality. This week, the provincial road authorities arrived in the city to certify the works of the Caminos de la Ruralidad program for about 12 kilometers.
“The project is 100% complete and included a trace located approximately 3 kilometers east of the urban area along Highway No. 70. Throughout this month of July, the first 6 kilometers have been completed in the Nuevo Torino sector, and at the beginning of this month of October the other 6 kilometers were completed in the Felicia area,” said community president Juan Carlos Imsteyf.
The communal chief specified that the works will improve traffic throughout the area and ensure a better connection with the rural area of the two cities.
“We are awaiting confirmation from the officials of the Ministry of Production and the government to inaugurate the works. The idea is that Governor Omar Perotti can participate in the inauguration, since he was present when the agreement was signed, ”he anticipated.
It should be noted that the action plan developed under the Caminos de la Ruralidad program provided for a survey of needs, the preparation of technical reports, implementation based on objectives or points of connectivity of the different tracks and execution of priority projects. .
sewers
In this regard, Imsteyf pointed out that work on the internal network is progressing rapidly, both in the north and south of the city.
“The work will be completed in about six months since the company is making great strides, allowing a better quality of life for the inhabitants of the town. Now we are asking for an extension of the works, given that when the project was carried out, the new housing estates that are today in the urban factory were not there. Consequently, an additional 1,100 meters of collector network have been requested to meet this demand. They are in study. With this, 100% of the commune would be reached, “anticipated the Communal Chief.
The project also includes the network of collectors and collectors of this first stage includes the execution of 11,266 m of PVC sewer pipe, consisting of 160 mm in diameter, and develops mainly in the green area of the sidewalks.

The community leader added that the new medium voltage line will connect Rafaela to Nuevo Torino with an investment of more than 240 million pesos.
“The project would allow the municipality to have energy for a demand of 8,000 inhabitants. It includes the construction of a 33 KV medium voltage line consisting of 26 km above ground and 1.2 km underground. The works also include the construction of the Nuevo Torino 33/13.2 kV lowering station, as well as another 5 kilometers of overhead and underground networks”.
