This is the section between Sauce and route 11 of the Circuito Vial 6 PPP contract, which includes the rehabilitation of 78 kilometers of route 6

On June 22, the Minister of Transportation and Public Works, José Luis Falero, together with Undersecretary Juan José Olaizola, inaugurated the works on the section of Route 6 between the Sauce bypass and Route 11.

This work is being carried out with the innovative technology of recycled pavement with foamed asphalt both in the plant and on site and then with a surface layer with modified asphalt type PG 70-28 that the Cuchilla Grande consortium entrusted to Bitafal as supplier.

The improvements made to the section imply an improvement in the existing infrastructure, including junctions, bridges, new pavement, signage, lighting and drainage. Interventions were carried out on five bridges, widening and reinforcing their structures to improve their performance.

In addition, two closed access roundabouts to Sauce were built on the south and center sides, replacing the existing roundabouts and improving the pavement, signage, and lighting. These improvements in the junctions have contributed significantly to road safety in the area. Minister Falero highlighted the importance of these works in the quality of the infrastructure as well as the estimated durability, since companies must be responsible for maintenance for more than 20 years. The investment in this section was approximately 1,700,000 dollars.

The Mayor of Sauce, Rubens Ottonello, the National Director of Roads, Hernán Ciganda, and other national, departmental and local authorities were present at the inauguration event.

We thank the CVC company and the Cuchilla Grande consortium for the trust they have given us in the supply of asphalt products for said work.

Construction of the roundabout linking Routes 2 and 24 will be completed by the end of June. Works begin in September to improve the quality of route 25.

The roundabout being built at the intersection of Routes 2 and 24, in a place known as La Víbora, near Fray Bentos, will improve safety conditions at this "dangerous intersection, which has cost many lives." This was stated by Minister José Luis Falero, during his visit to the department of Río Negro.

Likewise, Falero reported that works will begin in September to raise the quality standard of Route 25, which joins Routes 3 and 24. The intervention will be carried out on a 25-kilometer stretch and will require an investment of 22 million dollars.

Another important work in Río Negro is the one carried out on Route 20, which joins Routes 5 and 24. In this way it will become a new transversal, like Routes 14 and 26, and will facilitate circulation throughout the territory. without having to go south. Currently, a new section of about 30 kilometers is being built, which expands the national road heritage.

Minister Falero: "Our goal is to increase public works to the extent that UPM reduces"

For this year, the government plans to invest almost US$900 million in road works throughout the country, while by the end of 2023 it is expected to reach US$1,000 million. In addition, the Ministry of Transport and Public Works will put out a tender to install 100 radars on national routes at those points identified as the most dangerous in terms of road safety.

“We have sought to consolidate a strong investment. In the construction issue there will be a logical reduction for the UPM plant. Our goal is to increase public works to the extent that UPM reduces. The idea is to keep the 50 thousand workers. We are gradually making calls for bids that allow us to award the first section of route 5 this week and the second section next week. The 8 and 9 will be in May. We are hoping to be running in the second half of this year. Today we are at 55 thousand jobs in Construction. Our goal is not to be below 50 in the entire period” said the Minister in an interview with Informal Breakfasts.

Regarding the CREMA system, the Minister clarified that “it is similar to public-private participation but not the same. They have a different feature. PPPs are valid but very expensive to finance. It is obliged to execute the work in two years and the payment in up to seven. That reduces financing costs, which are very high. The competition in the call for bids is validated with what has been the offer in bids. There is expectation and there is eagerness to build new routes that will change the map of the country's road network."
