The basic infrastructure for land transport (does not include rail) comprised in 2008 about 14,198.7 kilometres of road network, which is subdivided into main, secondary and neighbourhood. The neighbourhood road network is the majority with 8,253 kilometres, followed by the main with 3,280 kilometres and the secondary with 2,665 kilometres. Of the total road network, only 22.4% is paved and the remaining 77.6% unpaved, based on select material or simply earth.
The development and performance of the cargo transport and logistics sector is crucial for Honduras' competitiveness due to its interrelationship with agriculture and manufacturing.
Likewise, the Honduran highway system is managed by the Secretariat of Public Works, Transport and Housing of Honduras (SOPTRAVI), through the General Directorate of Highways, which is responsible for planning construction and rehabilitation projects of the country's road works. (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transporte_en_Honduras)
Honduras has more than 15,400 km of roads. Until 1999, only 3,126 km were paved.
Similarly, the processes of comprehensive planning and improvement of transport services, cargo logistics and trade facilitation have been strengthened, including, among other measures: the preparation of a plan to modernize the transport and cargo logistics fleet; the establishment of the "Escuela National” and private land transport schools, including a specific programme for the training of women; and finally the updating of technological and digital tools for the consolidation of information in the tax administration, for its monitoring and management through a business intelligence tool.
