LANUS, Argentina (Reuters) - Adriana Rodriguez, a 59-year-old vendor at an open-air market in an industrial city in Argentina's Buenos Aires province, never imagined her home would be connected to the sewage system.

But as business-friendly President Mauricio Macri invested in infrastructure ahead of Sunday's legislative election victory, sewage construction in her hometown of Lanus advanced to within two blocks of Rodriguez's house. She expects pipes to reach her home soon.
