CiberCuba reports, “The Cuban government is assessing the implementation of new tolls on the country’s roads as a measure to finance the maintenance and improvement of the road infrastructure, which has experienced significant deterioration in recent years.” It’s been reported by state-run media that the proposal “aims to acquire foreign currency to ensure the safety and quality of the country’s main communication routes.”
Cuba’s transportation minister says feasibility studies of four potential toll corridors in metro Havana have been completed.
The article notes that Cuba’s road infrastructure suffers from substantial deterioration and unsafe conditions. In addition, the country lacks both technical resources and fuel supplies to carry out road repairs.
