AVO I provides a solution both to the growing traffic problem, and the lacking North-South connection in Santiago de Chile, decongesting a high-transit zone, reducing travel times, both noise and air pollution, and fuel consumption, as most of the traffic that would formerly run on the surface now does in a tunnel.
Rafael Gómez del Río, CEO of Sacyr Concesiones highlighted the merit of all involved in this mega-project, which spans 9 km, traverses five communes, making it one of the largest infrastructure projects in Latin America, that will benefit more than 750,000 people.
Sacyr Concesiones will participate in the management of AVO I for a maximum term of 45 years, and Sacyr Engineering and Infrastructures was involved in the execution of the underground, surface, and landscaping works, all throughout the communes of Recoleta, Huechuraba, Vitacura, Las Condes and La Reina.
AVO I is one of the most relevant infrastructures in Chile and in Sacyr’s portfolio, with an approximate investment of US$ 1 billion and a revenue portfolio worth more than US$4.3 billion.
