The notice published on 10 August announces the end of the full closures from 11:30 to 15:30 between Pampa González (km 905.300) and Puente Chacabuco (km 922.260).

That schedule is no longer presented as a current closure. The announcement does not guarantee there will be no roadworks, delays or new restrictions.

Lake connection / Update

La Tehuelche
is back in service.

Puerto Ibáñez ↔ Chile Chico

According to the MOP Aysén publication shared for this bulletin, the Maritime Authority cleared the vessel to sail on 31 October 2026 at 15:00. The vessel resumed service that day at 19:00, after finishing its maintenance.

This update replaces the earlier alert about the maintenance of La Tehuelche and the replacement operation by Chelenco. The earlier temporary frequencies are no longer in force.

Confirm departures, availability, boarding conditions and possible changes due to weather or operations directly with the operator. Book ahead and coordinate your timing with the road restrictions.

Before you set off

  1. Check restrictions and the days they apply with Vialidad and MOP Aysén before each leg.
  2. Leave margin between the roadworks stretches and your ferry boarding. This diagram cannot be used to calculate times.
  3. Review your booking and the ferry operator’s instructions before heading to the port.

Sources and scope

Where does the information come from?

From the MOP Aysén and Seremi of Public Works publication of 21 October 2026 on the major works of the Plan Ruta Austral (Instagram @mopaysen) and, in addition, from the background of the “Uozi bulletin with map” conversation and two shared screenshots: a MOP Aysén publication about La Tehuelche and a notice from MOP Aysén / Capitán Prat Provincial Delegation about Confluencia–Puente Chacabuco, dated 10 August. Direct links to those publications are not available here.

What should I check again?

The five Route 7 roadworks sectors (Queulat, Villa Ortega, Foitzick, Laguna Verde and Murta – El Belga) follow the 21 October publication, with the end announced for March 2028, except Murta – El Belga, March 2027. Maitén – Puerto Guadal keeps earlier information, with no new documentary confirmation. No application days are given unless they are backed by the available material. Consulta Dirección de Vialidad, MOP Aysén y Ferry Patagonia before you travel.

Is this a map for navigation?

No. It is a diagram of the seven sectors ordered north to south, with no scale or coordinates. The Puerto Ibáñez–Chile Chico crossing is reported separately and is not an eighth road stretch.
