INAUGURATION OF WORKS IN MALDONADO

The President of the Republic, the Minister and other authorities inaugurated important works for the Department

Last Friday, the 17th, a tour of openings was carried out for the summer season that is beginning. Two interchanges in Ruta Interbalnearia, Route 12 from Solanas to Route 9 and the roundabout of Route 104 and Route 10 were the projects completed in these days and that were carried out in record time.
The President of the Republic, Luis Lacalle Pou; the Secretary of the Presidency, Alvaro Delgado; the Minister of Transport and Public Works, José Luis Falero; the Director of Roads, Hernán Ciganda; the Mayor of Maldonado, Enrique Antía, among other authorities, businessmen and road technicians.
The day began at the Solís Interchange built by Colier in just 5 months, then the Pan de Azúcar Interchange built by Traxpalco was enabled with several engineering challenges that were overcome in record time. Then Route 12 was inaugurated, which Serviam rehabilitated with a recycling with cement and a Capeseal, and the day ended in the Manantiales area with the inauguration of the Route 104 and Route 10 roundabout, as well as the accesses to the new Contemporary Art Museum of Paul Atchugarry.
The interchanges of the Interbalnearia are works that will significantly improve the road safety of the route, since more than 70 people have lost their lives at these crossings since records exist.
In the case of the Solís Interchange, the Interbalnearia Route was raised, leaving a lower passage with roundabouts to distribute the traffic that enters or leaves the resort. The Colier company executed the project that involved an enormous contribution of material to consolidate the interchange in record time and where an asphalt layer made with modified asphalt was made BITAFLEX AM2.

In the Pan de Azucar Interchange, Traxpalco had to dig into the rock to lower the elevation of the Interbalnearia and be able to place a bridge on Route 37 to connect Pan de Azúcar and Piriápolis at a different level. The challenge of doing this work without explosives was one of the biggest challenges of the work that also required a rolling layer with modified asphalt. BITAFLEX AM2.

Another improvement in intersections occurred in the Route 104 and Route 10 roundabout that Serviam executed with a change in Route 104 layout and elevation of Route 10 elevation to take advantage of better visibility. In this case, the asphalt layer was made with modified asphalt. BITAFLEX AM3 that ensures a long useful life to the paving made. The installation of a sculpture by Pablo Atchugarry in the roundabout has already been announced, marking the presence of the sculptor in the area, since he has his museum at km 4 of Route 104, where the accesses were also made.

ROUTE 3 DUPLICATION IS A REALITY

ROUTE 3 DUPLICATION IS A REALITY

The works of Circuit 7 being carried out by Serviam and CVC are progressing at a very good pace

The project includes the duplication of roads in route 3, between routes 1 and 11, a bypass through the south of the city of San José de Mayo and a new bridge over the San José river. The section to be duplicated has an extension of 25 kilometers and about 8 km are close to being enabled just a few months after the start of the works.
The asphalt mix project is carried out entirely with modified asphalt supplied by Grupo Bitafal and the shoulders were made with a Cape Seal with modified BITAFLEX emulsions.
We thank the companies for the confidence they have given in supplying such an important input for their work.

The sections that are ready to be inaugurated are from Route 1 to km 73 executed by Serviam and the section from km 87 to the departmental capital together with the concrete pavement and roundabouts of the city of San José executed by the CVC company.
In both sections there were various challenges to overcome such as the transplantation of dozens of palm trees, the use of new equipment and technologies such as the transfer that Serviam incorporated (HC #130) for the execution of the asphalt layer.

The use of the transfer allows an excellent homogeneity of the laid mixture as well as a surface regularity (IRI) below 1 that is noticeable when walking on the pavement. Congratulations to the entire Serviam technical team for the excellent work done.

Regarding the concrete section of CVC, it is worth highlighting the solution to the drainage as well as the interaction of the route with the shops and the incorporation of two large roundabouts in an area of ​​high, heavy and slow traffic such as the pass of Route 3 by the city of San José. As for the cemented base, it was made on the project dimension and then trimeated with the 3D milling machine to achieve an excellent support IRI. The concrete pavement was made between July 16 and August 25, in just 40 days, there were 44,000 m2 with curbs with heavy traffic and short days. We congratulate the efforts of the company for such an achievement.
