| OHL and Sacyr to build highway in Santiago de Chile OHL Concessions and Sacyr Concessions have submitted the best proposal for the construction and concession of Santiago de Chile's Américo Vespucio Oriente urban highway (AVO), which has a budget of €710 million (US$970 million). The project comprises building and operating this 9.3 km urban highway, large spans of which will have three lanes in running in each direction. Some of the more prominent work among the primary projects on this highway, which will stretch across five Chilean communes (La Reina, Las Condes, Vitacura, Recoleta and Huechuraba), include the tunnel under the San Cristóbal hill and Mapocho river, improvements to the preexisting surface roadways in La Pirámide, and two underwater carriageways from the south side of the Centenario bridge to Príncipe de Gales. This highway will help shorten travel time for commuters in the eastern part of Chile's capital city while improving the level of service for a structured road, which currently bears heavy traffic congestion. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Construction News :: home page |
