With the unanimous support of regional councilors and a significant contribution from the company CMPC, Loncoche is preparing to inaugurate its first covered street, a project that promises to be a milestone in La Araucanía and southern Chile. The initiative, which involves an investment close to $1 billion, was presented in a session attended by Mayor Alexis Pineda Ruiz, municipal officials, and members of the community who will be direct beneficiaries of the project.
The structure, to be located on the central Manuel Bulnes Street, will not only offer protection against inclement weather but will also become a gathering space for cultural, social, and sporting activities. The wooden architecture of the covered street not only highlights the local identity and connection with nature but also incorporates the historical memory of the commune, echoing the words of historian Abraham Abara about the birth of Loncoche.
Mayor Pineda Ruiz highlighted the cross-cutting nature of the project, which will benefit various sectors of the community, from entrepreneurs to the Women Heads of Household program. He also emphasized the importance of adapting to the climatic reality of the region, which experiences rainfall for much of the year.
The collaboration between the regional government, private enterprise, and municipal officials was key to the realization of this project, which joins other initiatives such as the future city hall building and the riverfront development, projecting Loncoche towards a new tourism model.
Gloria Méndez, president of the Luis Carileo Market, expressed her gratitude for the project that will offer security and better working conditions for local entrepreneurs, who have faced challenges due to adverse weather.
With this project, Loncoche is not only building infrastructure but also strengthening its identity, history, and opportunities for its inhabitants, under a roof that symbolizes the union of the past and the future.
