INAUGURATION ROUTE 6
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.
