The works required an investment of more than 140 million dollars and employed some 500 workers.

The construction of the viaduct began at the beginning of 2020. "It comes at a rate that allows us to think that by the middle of the year we can have the viaduct finished," Falero reported at a press conference. In addition, a set of complementary works are being carried out within the port area, which will improve the capacities of the country's main port.

The work not only orders road traffic, but also railway traffic. The structure allows the Central Railway line to enter the port below the viaduct. "It can serve to generate internal transport in the port through the railway", said the Minister.

The works required an investment of more than 140 million dollars. They have also allowed the creation of many sources of work. In its most intense stage, it employed some 500 workers. At the current stage there are about 250. "Without a doubt, it has been important in the workplace," said the hierarch.

The Undersecretary Juan José Olaizola also participated in the tour; the President of the National Administration of Ports, Juan Curbelo; the Director of the Office of Planning and Budget, Isaac Alfie; the President of Fonplata –the body that finances part of the work–, Juan Notaro; and authorities of the company Saceem, in charge of carrying out the works.

The importance of waterproofing structures is gaining strength in Uruguay

There are already several bridges that have been waterproofed to ensure their durability. Two works have recently been carried out with the BITAFILL bridge deck waterproofing, one through SACEEM, which was applied at the overpass in Ruta Interbalnearia and Camino de los Arrayanes, and the other through Espina on the new bridge over the Marincho stream. on Route 14. The latter is added to the more than 14,000 m2 applied to 12 new bridges made in the PPP 3 Project on Route 14 that have used this product to protect structures.

After all the applications, a 4 cm thick asphalt layer was applied with modified asphalt as the wearing course with excellent adherence.

We invite you to see some photos of recent executions.

70 YEARS OF SACEEM

The company celebrated its 70th anniversary at a peak of local and regional activity

The event was held at the foot of the arch bridge of the new viaduct that SACEEM is building in the Port of Montevideo and was attended by the President of the Republic, the Director of Highways and other national authorities. The impressive arch bridge has a height of 48 m and a span of 90 m. Weighing 270 tons, it was manufactured in Spain and is an icon of the work carried out.

The Director of SACEEM Alejandro Ruibal reviewed the history of the company and highlighted the great moment they are currently experiencing with the work of the viaduct, the central railway, works at UPM 2, the "Centenario" Bridge, which is the company's No. 150 and the recent substation in Paraguay, in addition to the permanent presence of SACEEM in Peru, among other milestones.

We congratulate the company for these first 70 years and we appreciate the confidence in the supply of asphalt and joints for bridges.

Another work carried out with Capeseal pavement on our national routes

The recently inaugurated work was carried out in less than 4 months and involved the base surcharge, the recycling with Portland cement and the execution of a Capeseal in 17 km of extension. The works carried out by Serviam between Solanas and Ruta 9 finished ahead of schedule, showing the advantages of this type of pavement execution both in quality and in productivity.

With this work, there are already more than 6 national routes that have this solution in some of their sections and other works are planned for 2022.

The rehabilitation of the section implied a base surcharge of 9 cm, the recycling of the material together with the old surface treatment in 20 cm with Portland cement and an irrigation of curing with emulsion IRRIGATION BITAFAL 65. Then, for the Capeseal, the simple bituminous treatment with emulsion was carried out IRRIGATION BITAFLEX 65 P40 and aggregate 5-14 mm in a width of 7.2 m to later be covered by Type II cold microagglomerate made with emulsion BITAFLEX MICRO 62 P25.

The recycling and bituminous treatment works were carried out by the Macromáquinas company, which has a new recycling train as well as a self-propelled gravel machine to ensure the quality of the work carried out. The microagglomerate was executed by Serviam with its high-capacity Romanelli equipment in just 8 working days.

The investment estimated at about USD 160,000 / km and the quality of the work carried out strengthen the concept that recycling combined with Capeseal is the future of many of our roads.

We congratulate Serviam on another high-quality work!

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 INVESTMENT RECORD

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.

87% of the road network will be intervened with quality works. There will be interventions on more than 7,600 kilometers of the road network and also on 156 bridges. This was announced by Minister José Luis Falero at a working breakfast organized by the Association of Marketing Directors.

In addition, before the end of the year, the tenders will be launched to duplicate some of the sections of route 5 - the sections that go from Canelones to Mendoza and from Durazno to the south have already begun to be executed - to duplicate route 9 between Pan de Azúcar and Chuy , and rehabilitate route 6.
