INAUGURATION OF ROUTE 101
COLIER opens duplication of 10 km of double track from Colonia Nicolich to Pando
Last October 25 the opening of the section was held with the presence of the Minister of Transport, Victor Rossi and Intendant of Canelones, Yamandú Orsi, among other national and departmental authorities.
The work was done in record time but ensuring the quality in each of its stages. We are proud to have been able to meet the challenge of providing the BITAFLEX AM3 cement up to 8 trucks a day to make this dream became reality, fulfilling the word of Hebert González.
We invite you to learn more about the work and the inauguration.
The work consisted of a road widening with input from more than one meter of granular material and then a 12cm asphalt AC30 asphalt as black base. In the old road patching she performed and then applied across the width rolling in a folder with 5 cm modified asphalt BITAFLEX AM3. Colonia Nicolich several test sections were made with the new highly modified asphalt cement HiMA as reported earlier (https://bitafal.com.uy/nuevo-tramo-con-asfalto-hima/).
Also in record time laces and padding to the median strip separating the two carriageways, and both vertical and horizontal signs they were performed.
The work includes several roundabouts, made of concrete, at the entrance to the Science Park and at intersections with Ponce Street León, Avenida Rambla Costanera and roads El Gallo and Los Horneros and in front of the Military School Aeronautics (EMA).
All these improvements will positively impact both in economic and social development of the area but even more traffic in a route increasingly congested. To complement the latter works are being made to illuminate the entire stretch.
The inauguration began when 19, at the roundabout of E.M.A. on Route 101, where a ceremony was held in the words of the Minister of the mayor of Pando, of the Intendant of Canelones well as the Ing. Juan Echeverz, who thanked everyone who made this work possible. Especially those who are daily on site.
The Minister of Transportation and Public Works, Víctor Rossi, explained that the portfolio intends that the circuit made up of these routes become an exit corridor to the east of the country, capable of contributing to the decongestion of the Interbalnearia route that faces a important circulation of vehicles in summer season. The inaugurated works are part of the works carried out with this objective. The Minister also announced that a double track will soon be built in the bypass of the city of Pando, which will connect with the double track of Route 8 that reaches Route 11. The alternative circuit should be complemented with the extension of the double track of Route 8. to route 9 and from there to Los Cardos, for which there is already a project, according to Rossi.
Then we moved to "La Toscana" to share a dinner and a heartfelt tribute to Hebert González, promoter of this project and which would be proud to see how everything was done on time and fulfilling the word.
