On June 10, the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works inaugurated the rehabilitation works of 25 km of Route 6, between Arroyo Mansavillagra and the Route 14 bypass, in the department of Florida.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by the President of the Republic Luis Lacalle Pou, Minister José Luis Falero and other high national and departmental authorities. The Bitafal management team was present, accompanying the Grinor company that relies on the reliable supply of emulsions, asphalt as well as transportation to carry out its projects.

The work has an extension of 25 kilometers and is of great importance both for agricultural activity and for the communities of Florida and Durazno, connecting cities and towns, rural establishments, schools and other fundamental services in the area.

Drainage correction, widening of the platform, scarifying and compaction of the sub-base, patching, surfacing with granular material and stabilization of the base with Portland cement were carried out. Curing and adhesion irrigations were carried out with Bitafal Riego 65 emulsion as well as placement of a 7 cm thick asphalt layer with AC-30 asphalt. In addition, vertical and horizontal signs were placed and additional work was carried out in Capilla del Sauce, in the section between kilometers 181.8 and 182.4.

The opportunity was favorable for the meeting with the MTOP representatives, deepening the excellent institutional relations achieved and planning new works that will be carried out in the coming months, to together improve Uruguay's road network.
