INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Economic growth, social advancement and action against the climate emergency depend largely on investment in infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress. Today, about 1 billion people live more than 2 km from a roadway, 940 million live without electricity, and 663 million lack improved drinking water sources.
ACCIONA participates in the entire infrastructure construction value chain, from the identification of opportunity, design and execution, to the operation and maintenance of the constructed works, using the most advanced and innovative techniques.
Performance quality and safety are two of the criteria that maximize the company's value proposal in the development of large infrastructure projects and that differentiate it from other competitors in the construction field.
Of the 12 km of dual carriageway, 6 km belong to the trunk road and the rest to the branches of the 4 junctions of the dual carriageway.
The standard section has two platforms separated by a median, with 7.00 m wide carriageways and two 3.50 m lanes in each direction, 1.00 m inner verges and 2.50 m outer verges, with 1.00 m berms. The most important elements of the dual carriageway are:
- 5 subways, one box type, two single span of 20 m and the other two, 3 spans with a total length of 46,20 m each.
- 3 overpasses of 3 spans with a length of 50.50 m each.
Transversal drainage works were also carried out, as well as road safety works, signalling and beaconing, complementary works, enclosures and traffic diversions.
