Rover exceeds 60% of the work of the road project PPP Circuito 6 in Montevideo (Uruguay)

The construction of the new Route 6, which links the northern road of traffic in Montevideo (Uruguay), is 15 months old. It was carried out by the Cuchilla Grande Consortium, formed by Rover and the local company CVC. This PPP road project has 78 km of route, along which are interspersed sections of altimetric variants, widening and reinforcement of the existing track and new construction sections, as well as twelve reinforcements and extensions of existing structures and another four of new plant. The consortium’s work has already advanced more than 60% of the project.

All these solutions aim to provide one of the capital’s most important entry routes with adequate standards of quality and road safety, with an update in the design that also allows industrially backbone the interior of the country.

The road infrastructure works cover a total of three years, followed by an additional 17 years of maintenance concession. The total amount of the project amounts to $140M and involves private investments from BBVA, BID and BROU.

Completed this first year of road modernization work, which began on March 1, 2022, the baggage of five sections delivered on time, totaling 33 km of urban and intercity road, including eight lower road steps. All this reflects the great work done by the team of the Cuchilla Grande Consortium.

As a close to a great first year of work, in which 62% progress has been achieved, an act of inauguration of the route was held last June at its passage through the town of Sauce, attended by public figures such as the Minister of Transport of Uruguay, Jose Luis Falero; the undersecretary of MTOP, Juan José Olaizola; the National Director of Vialidad, Hernán Ciganda; and the mayor of Sauce, Rubens Otonello, among others.

In this act, the Minister José Luis Falero praised the work carried out by the consortium composed of Rover Infrastructures and CVC, as well as that of the other works present on the route and which aim to deliver another four sections after the second year of the project.

As they move from Rover, “we will remain committed to achieving the highest standards of quality in construction and road safety in maintenance, to provide a project so necessary to Uruguay by meeting and improving the deadlines.”
