INAUGURATION OF THE INTERCHANGER ON ROUTE 5
The work will allow this route to be crossed on a double track and elevated above the Eduardo Pérez road
Hernandez and Gonzalez S.A. built the work that includes two viaducts 17 meters long each; more than 2000m of metal containment systems and more than 600m of rigid concrete fenders, with impact terminals for maximum protection, to prevent derailments and lighting of all components with the latest generation LED technology. The road solution for the crossing also required the construction of a new double track bridge over the Arroyo Pantanoso.
The President of the Republic, Luis Lacalle Pou, the Minister of Transport, José Luis Falero and the Mayor of Montevideo, Carolina Cosse, participated in the inauguration of this interchange. The Minister announced that "Here especially we are working on the point of tendering, before the end of the year, the continuation of the perimeter up to Route 1. We have also incorporated the Pérez road into this CREMAF contract, because we believe that it is a more than convenient access for all those producers who come from the coast.”
After the inauguration, a dinner was held to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the company and where a tribute was paid to Mr. Omar Hernández, Director of the company.
