Argentina is planning works for two major road projects. Work is already underway on these new links in Cordoba Province. In all, the work is worth close to US$185 million.

One road project is for a bypass on Ruta 158 of nearly 14km, close to Villa Maria. This also includes a new bridge spanning the Ctalamochita River. The other project is for a new highway connecting Rio Cuarto and Holmberg.

Building these new links is expected to reduce traffic congestion in the respective cities.
