Road Security

Security in Nicaragua is generally good on major roads, with the exception of some critical points where accidents are most frequent.

In some roads in the area of the Atlantic is no increase in robberies became worse by the year-end season by the merchant cargo movement flowing from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

Phase UN Security for the RAAN region is Phase 1. In rural areas, road safety is adversely affected by the presence of non-motorized vehicles and motorcycles, road restrictive design rules, and poor overall vehicle

Road Class and Surface Conditions

The most important road is the Pan American Highway, which connects many countries in this region. This road connects the southern border with North Peñas Blancas border from El Espino, thus giving direct connection with the Republics of Costa Rica sisters and Honduras respectively. In most of the time it remains in good condition and runs through the country directly and indirectly linking the most important and developed as the Pacific region, the central and northern areas. Greatly facilitates the transport of goods imported and exported through the Port of Corinto, Puerto Sandino and San Juan del Sur.

Road Managua - Puerto Corinto

2 hours (160 km) drive down the road from Managua N through Leon and Chinandega, Puerto Corinto is paved throughout. The road does not seem to suffer any problem in terms of safety or infrastructure.

Road Managua – El Rama

The road is in good condition and is more accessible and important to connect with El Rama. Distance from Managua 292 kms or 4 hrs. And the Atlantic Coast through the Escondido River l 100 kms or 6 hours.

Road Managua - Puerto Cabezas-Waspam

The road to the coast of the North Atlantic (565 kilometers from Managua to Puerto Cabezas) is paved only up to the Rio Blanco (150 km. To the northeast of Managua), from there a dirt road that connects Rosita, Puerto Cabezas / Waspám (415 additional km). Most of the 300 km road from White River to the junction of the Wawa River can be considered accessible condition in dry season for light vehicles to trucks with 15 to 18 metric tons, however, there are several damaged sections for the wet season (nine months of the year) become impassable. It has been given in some tran¿mos maintenance of the road, but not sufficient conditions for improvements.

The WFP has an office in Puerto Cabezas, in a rented house, there is a radio antenna and high frequency basic telephone line, Internet, security is provided by a private company WFP has 2 cellars 40m square, 1 cellar of 29 square meters and three mobile stores.

Managua - Matagalpa

Matagalpa has served as one of the centers of WFP operations in Nicaragua, in Sébaco WFP has a warehouse of 5.540 meters for a capacity of 7,000 tons.

Access to the RAAN of Matagalpa is via a dirt road 125 km which varies from state, but perhaps most important is not the primary way for the central government in terms of investment / improvement. A winding road through sand-gravel / clay based sparsely populated tropical pine forests of Puerto Cabezas leads to the town of Waspam (138 kms.

The road often has serious bottlenecks caused by poor drainage along mix muddy clay road during missions to visit the road was in good condition, although there were several sections difficulties that might cause problems for certain types of vehicle (ie, heavy truckloads and 4 x 2 vehicles) during prolonged rainfall.

Managua - Road Wiwilí

It is 6 hours from Managua to Wiwilí from Managua through the Pan American highway through the city of Matagalpa and Jinotega. In the first part of the route is easy and hassle with some problems in terms of infrastructure or security. Towards the end of the unit, conditions along the dirt road deteriorate, bottlenecks during the rainy season are common, besides, the road is susceptible to landslides.

Wiwilí is a temporary center of WFP operations, there is no WFP or infrastructure for storage, communication, radio room, etc. When necessary, WFP can rent a space of 500 m² namely a local partner store, located directly on the river port at the point of shipment Wiwilí. No Wiwilí airport installations, including helicopters. Fuel is available in the city.

Building Maintenance.

The departments with deficits are RACN, RACS, Rio San Juan. Of these RACN presents the largest deficit in value of 3449.53. Among the three departments has a total deficit of 7085.55 kms with last year's variation equals -9.38 kms. There are 113 municipalities with a surplus and 40 with deficits. The largest deficit was observed in Waspam and Prinzapolka.

Classification

Roads description

Type: Paved Road

There is a road (Pan) extending from the border

with Honduras in the north to the border with Costa Rica in the

sur condition, very good: El Espino-Yalaguina-Esteli-Sébaco-

Managua, Jinotepe, Rivas-Peñas Blancas

Type: Main paved road

There are three roads classified as main road. they have carpeting, and are generally in good condition. they connect major cities, mainly in the lateral Pacific and Managua - El Rama Atlantic side

Type: paved secondary road

The gravel layer is 25 cm min. They are connected with the main cities, mainly in the Pacific.

Type: Paved all-weather

Its geometric trace is not designed, closer to everything topography, allowing the flow of traffic throughout the year and the bearing surface is formed by stable soils with a minimum thickness of 15 cm.

Type: Dry season unpaved

Are those whose geometric layout is not designed. The raceway is not selected material or natural terrain, which makes traffic flow is interrupted in the rainy season. Tract located mainly in the RAAN (Sébaco-Siuna-Puerto Cabezas-Waspám)

Bridges

Due to heavy rains falling for much of the year in the RACN / RACS, roads and bridges are vulnerable to being dragged through much of the year: In recent years there has been maintaining the bridges of primary roads or main. Along the main road from White River at Puerto Cabezas and Waspam union, many river crossings have nothing more than basic wooden structures subject to deterioration in wet weather conditions and vulnerable to rising rivers. Wawa River ferry crossing point.

On the way Waspam, about 19 km from Puerto Cabezas city center, it is the turn to the west, the road to Minas Triangle and Matagalpa and Managua. A further 20 kilometers in the Wawa River crossing point. This route is the umbilical connection to the rest of the country for those who can not afford the cost of flights and for almost all products sold on the Atlantic coast. The vehicle crossing is performed by a barge that is pulled through a cable and winch rusty old diesel engine. The barge carries 20 mt + platform trucks, buses and virtually anything it takes to cross the Wawa. During the rainy season the service is suspended as a precaution when the pressure of the dangerous current in the cables and winches, leaving the Atlantic coast link outage.

Nicaragua has 2,220 kilometers of navigable waterways not including two large lakes (Xolotlán or Managua and Nicaragua or Cocibolca). The rivers of the Pacific slope, are generally short haul. Instead, draining into the Caribbean Sea, are longer and extensive drainage basin. Among the basins of great importance for the country, we Coco River Grande de Matagalpa and Rio San Juan.

The fluvial or lacustrine navigation is poorly developed internally the country. There are six ports, three in the Pacific and three in the Atlantic, but the marine cargo in and out mostly by ports of neighboring republics of Honduras and Costa Rica.

As for river transportation, all major rivers in the country have public transport vessels.

In the San Juan River, the city of San Carlos has a port where boats or pangas to go to the historic site of El Castillo are taken Bartola Refuge life, the vast Natural Reserve Indio-Maiz, and the port in the Caribbean San Juan del Norte (or Greytown).

In the area of the Caribbean coast is also the port of El Rama, from where boats are taken to cross the river interesting Escondido and reach Bluefields.

The Rio Escondido with a length of 88 kilometers, the Escondido River is formed by the confluence of Sikia, Mico and Rama rivers, and is navigable to its mouth in the Bay of Bluefields.

The Río Grande de Matagalpa born in North Mill and has a length of 465 kilometers; It is the second longest river in Nicaragua, is tributary to the Tuma River with a length of 180 kilometers. The Wawashan and Kurinwas are tributaries of Laguna de Perlas and its course is with few rapids.

The Prinzapolka River rises in the mountains Isabelia mainstream and has a length of 245 kilometers, of which half are navigable by small boats.

The Kukalaya river has a length of 140 km and flows into the coastal lagoon Whounta; Wawa, with a length of 160 kilometers, flows into the lagoon Karatá and its main tributary is the River Likus.

El Coco, Wangki or Segovia River, with a length of 680 kilometers, is the longest in Central and originates at the confluence of the river Comali (Honduras) and Tapacali (Nicaragua) near El Espino; downstream, the Coco is navigable by shallow-draft vessels, receives Bocay main tributaries, with a length of 115 kilometers and 138 kilometers Waspuk.
