We were contracted to prepare the executive project for 6.70 km of Route 6, near Sarandí del Yí. The objective was to design a new route to solve flooding problems, improve the geometry and divert heavy traffic from the city.

The project included the design of two new bridges: one over the Illescas Creek (270 m long) and the other over the Yí River and Agua Sucia Creek (740 m long). We also designed two rotary intersections. The first, north of the city, connects Route 14 and Route 6. The second, to the south, includes two overpasses over the railroad to connect Route 6 and Route 14.

Scope of the project

We elaborated the complete executive design for the accesses to Sarandí del Yí. The tasks covered a variety of technical studies, such as layout alternatives, traffic studies, topography, soils (for the road project and structures), and hydrological and hydraulic analyses with modeling.

At the design level, we take care of the geometric design, drainage, pavements, signage and defenses. We also designed the two intersections, one of which is at grade with the railroad. For the construction phase, we study and design the detours. The project included an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the preparation of measurements and a reference budget, and the technical specifications for the execution of the works. As a complement, we developed a three-dimensional model of the project.

The new route layout and designed bridges provided a lasting solution to the flooding and congestion problems. This ensured a safer and more efficient connection for transportation in the region.
