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.

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.

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.
