ROUTE 5 DUPLICATION: INVESTMENT RECORD FIGURE
The extension of the double track from Canelones to Durazno will improve traffic conditions and provide safety to users
Currently the double track runs from Montevideo to Canelones. Its extension will be executed in four sections:
The first one goes from Canelones (at the junction with Route 11) to the town of Mendoza.
The second goes from Mendoza to Florida.
The third from Florida to Sarandí Grande.
And the last one from Sarandí Grande to Durazno.
The work is part of the road works plan prepared by the current administration for the five-year period in view of the intense traffic flow that exists today today and that will increase notably in the coming years, with the important investments that are carried out in the central area of the country. The plan foresees an investment of approximately 2.5 billion dollars, a record figure in the country's history.
