CONSTRUCCIONES RUBAU IS AWARDED BUILDING WORKS ON THE TRANSVERSAL DE BOYACÁ ROAD IN COLUMBIA

March, 2016

In February this year, INVIAS (Columbia’s National Road Institute) awarded Consorcio Vial 081, of which CONSTRUCCIONES RUBAU is a partner, the execution of the improvement works and the social, land and environmental management of the ‘Transversal de Boyacá’ project, sections Otanche – Chiquinquirá (route 6007) and crossroads route 45 (two and a half) – Otanche (route 6006), in the department of Boyacá.

The corridor, situated on the western slopes of the East Andes and the Magdalena Medio (central section of the Magdalena River Valley), belong to the National Road Network. The works to be carried out by RUBAU will be on different types of terrain: flat in the municipality of Puerto Boyacá; undulating in the municipality of Otanche; and mountainous on the remainder of the route between the municipalities of San Pablo de Borbur and Pauna.

The project budget is approximately 30 million euros and the execution period will be an estimated 48 months. This is one of the 57 projects that form part of the Plan de Vías para la Equidad, with which the Colombian government seeks to improve roads in 26 of the country’s 32 departments.
