ROAD INVESTMENT WILL CHANGE THE REALITY OF THE COUNTRY'S ROUTES

Routes within the country are being prioritized, emphasizing those that connect the territory from East to West, such as 14, 20 and 26

In 2021, more than 500 million dollars were invested in road works. The amount will double this year and, at the end of the five-year period, it will reach 3.3 billion. This investment will make it possible to change the road situation in the country, with maintenance works, new routes and changes in quality standards, informed Minister José Luis Falero.

Falero explained that the routes in the interior of the country are being prioritized, emphasizing those that connect the territory from East to West, such as 14, 20 and 26. It is also aimed at rehabilitating those routes that are important to generate a greater development in the northern departments, such as Route 6. Various execution modalities are used, trying to be efficient in the use of Uruguayan resources, he said.

The laboratory has capacities for the analysis of the different asphalt paving materials as well as equipment for the design and evaluation of mixtures. It has a complete laboratory for analysis of asphalt binders both by traditional tests and by grade PG. It also has aggregate and filler evaluation equipment as well as dynamic soil evaluation equipment.

As for asphalt mixtures, they have different types of mixers and compactors for the preparation of various test specimens, as well as all the tools for their correct sawing and preparation.
