An estimate based on the length of the road network attributes to Tucumán 14,859 million pesos of the money that the SisVial trust had not applied to works as of May 31, 2026. The figure does not represent a formal accounting debt nor a settled credit in favor of the Province: it arises from proportionally distributing the national balance according to the 575 kilometers of national routes that cross Tucumán territory.
The SisVial recorded 1,038,779 million pesos unspent. Of that total, 1,001,018 million were placed in financial instruments: 854,234 million in government securities and 146,784 million in fixed-term deposits. Another 37,761 million remained immobilized in a current account of Banco Nación. Tucumán accounts for 1.43% of a national network estimated at 40,200 kilometers, a percentage used to obtain the provincial figure.
The same methodology allocates 160,760 million pesos to the entirety of NOA. Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán, Santiago del Estero, and Catamarca cover 6,221 kilometers, equivalent to 15.48% of the network. The calculation allows for territorial dimensioning of under-execution, but does not change the nature of the fund: the resources are intended nationally and are not legally distributed by province or by kilometer.
Between the beginning of the Government of Javier Milei and May 2026, the trust collected 1,503,252 million pesos and executed 394,406 million, 26.2%. In 2024 it applied 11.3% of what was collected; in 2025, 39%; and between January and May 2026, 18.5%. Even using a more restrictive base of incomes actually distributed to the trust account, the calculated execution amounts to only 36.5%.
The system was created to finance the construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of roads through a portion of the Impuesto a los Combustibles Líquidos. The Ministerio de Economía acts as the implementing authority and the Banco Nación as trustee. Since mid-2025, a national decision directed investments from fixed terms to public securities; in March 2026, placements grew by 83,840 million while works executed 1,090 million.
The contrast is worsened by the condition of the network. A survey by Vialidad Nacional rated 60% of the kilometers evaluated in Tucumán as poor, while a union report estimated that between 65% and 70% of the national network was fair or poor. Routes 9 and 34 accumulate regional complaints, and the government is moving forward with toll concessions. The next inspection will have to determine when the financial balances turn into maintenance and which Tucuman sections actually enter the intervention plans.
