Piñera stressed that the project involves a total investment in construction of approximately 98 million dollars.
The new border complex is part of the Cristo Redentor integrated system, an international corridor through which most traffic with the Argentine province of Mendoza takes place, which constitutes the main land connection of Mercosur.
The complex was built in 1975 and its infrastructure required significant modernization to meet the increase in the flow of people, which according to government data has been around 20 percent annually for the past five years.
The Los Libertadores Border Complex will triple its service capacity with a 35 square meter building, where 640 light vehicles and eight buses will be served simultaneously, a figure that quadruples what it currently operates.
Chile has 36 Border Complexes, 29 of them with Argentina, six with Bolivia and one with Peru.
We inaugurated the new Los Libertadores Border Complex, which modernizes our main land crossing with Argentina, triples capacity and quality of service, reduces waiting times by a third, and promotes economic and tourist integration between both countries and with Mercosur. pic.twitter.com/1Yb3pCoMeM
