The Ministerio de Comunicaciones of Guatemala reported ongoing infrastructure improvements through a series of posts on December 1, 2025. The ministry highlighted maintenance and repair efforts on key roadways and bridges as part of its commitment to safer and more accessible transportation routes.
In a post published at 18:37 UTC, the ministry stated, "¡Trabajando por carreteras más seguras y transitables! Las cuadrillas de @COVIAL_CIV realizan labores de limpieza y bacheo en el tramo del km 28 al km a la 60, cubriendo 32 kilómetros del proyecto L22 de la ruta al Pacifico, en Palín, Escuintla." The announcement referred to cleaning and pothole repairs along a significant stretch of the Pacific route in Palín, Escuintla.
A subsequent post at the same time detailed the deployment of multiple work teams: "Tres cuadrillas se encuentran distribuidas estratégicamente para agilizar los trabajos y mejorar la movilidad en la zona. Estas acciones forman parte del #PlanConecta2025 del CIV, comprometido con el mantenimiento y la conservación de nuestra red vial."
