THE FOUR SECTIONS ARE AWARDED TO DUPLICATE ROUTE 5
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 goes from Canelones to the town of Mendoza. The second goes from Mendoza to Florida, the third from Florida to Sarandí Grande and the last from Sarandí Grande to Durazno.
The estimated investment is about 300 million dollars. The duplication of the section that goes from Florida to Sarandí Grande is carried out through a rehabilitation, maintenance and financing contract (Cremaf). This financial instrument streamlines instrumentation times and speeds up the start of works. The tasks are executed in two years and their maintenance is guaranteed for the following 10.
