"There is going to be a very important investment for the economic reactivation that the country needs, which has to have the State as an articulator so that the works are of quality"

This was stated by the Minister of Transport and Public Works José Luis Falero and pointed out that in the remainder of this year and the next “the push will be noticed” in what has to do with the development of public works. The administration will ensure that the works have durability. "We intend to be certain that we are doing quality works, adequate to the traffic and the increase that it is going to have," he said.

The Minister reported that work is underway to launch a series of tenders and avoid extensions. In addition, it is seeking to finance a series of priority works, which will allow traffic flow, such as the double track of route 5 between Canelones and Durazno, the double track of route 9 to Chuy, the rehabilitation of route 6, as well as the extension of the double track of Route 1 to Colonia.

Crema contracts will be used that allow the works to be executed in a shorter time and to be paid for in a shorter period than the projects of public-private participation. “We are working on the projects and bidding documents. This second semester you have to tender, "he said.

The Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP) executed more than 86% of the budget it had assigned for the year 2020

This was stated by Minister José Luis Falero, who attended the Budget Committee integrated with the Treasury of the House of Representatives. The hierarch -accompanied by Undersecretary Juan José Olaizola and the rest of his team- was satisfied with the progress in the execution of works despite the health emergency. “The difficulty of the pandemic itself and the transition were concealed. There was a strong execution, for which we must thank the entire MTOP team and the companies that have been contracted to carry out the works, ”he said.

Likewise, the chief reiterated his commitment to increase the execution of works in the remainder of the five-year period to improve the state of the country's infrastructure. The MTOP seeks to tender a greater number of road works in order to reduce costs. "When there are tenders there is more competition between the companies and that generates savings for the administration that can be used in other works," he said.

INAUGURATION OF ROUTE 104 AND ROUTE 10

The synergy between recycled cement and surface treatments show that a route can be rehabilitated at low cost with high performance and quality

Last January 28 The official inauguration of the works took place at the intersection of both routes, in front of Manantiales beach. The Minister of Transportation and Public Works, Luis Alberto Heber, the Mayor of Maldonado, Enrique Antía, the Director of Roads, Hernán Ciganda and the Directors of the company participated in the meeting.

There are several accolades that the Serviam company has received for the Capeseal that was carried out in more than 33 km of route that were rehabilitated in just 3 months. Not only for the quality of the finished work but also for the speed of execution as well as for the aesthetic and functional improvement of one of the main tourist corridors in Punta del Este.

As we discussed in the Bulletin # 118, the works on Route 104 consisted of cleaning the strip and deepening the gutters as well as the surcharge of between 15 and 20 cm of roughness that was recycled with cement along with the old existing bituminous treatment.

To control cracking, transverse cuts were made with emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFAL 65 with a team specially designed for it. The curing irrigation was carried out with Emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFAL 65 and crushing sand providing excellent adherence and a very good performance as protection of the stabilized base.

Finally, the Capeseal type paving was carried out with a simple bituminous treatment with emulsion. IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P40 and a cold micro-agglomerate with emulsion BITAFLEX MICRO 62 P25

A roundabout was made at a black point on the route and all the signage was renewed by applying highly durable thermoplastic paint, studs and highly reflective signage.

The section of Route 10 from 104 to the entrance to José Ignacio was recycled in 15 cm with Portland cement and then Capeseal as a tread layer.

Both routes achieved an improvement in roughness and slip resistance, as well as a finish similar to asphalt pavement with great contrast to the signage, which translates into improvements in road safety. In addition, an important structural improvement was made that will allow a high durability of the rehabilitated sections.

THREE SECTIONS OF ROUTE 14 INAUGURATED
