Aranguez Bridge handed over in record time

28 January 2011 - New contracts - Trinidad & Tobago

The Aranguez Bridge, on the island of Trinidad, was handed over on 19 November, almost 3 months ahead of schedule.

A composite structure (length: 52.6 m; width: 17.4 m), created on a design-construction basis by VINCI Construction Grands Projets, it spans the Churchill Roosevelt Highway near the community of Aranguez.

It will help improve traffic flow between the capital, Port of Spain, and the towns of San Fernando and Arima and, in the longer term, reduce traffic congestion on the island.
Contract value: $27.3m (€19m).
