The Chinese consortium CRCC, made up of the company CRCC International Investment Co. Ltd. and the state-owned China Railway Construction Corporation (International) Limited, took possession this Friday of the Talca Chillán section of Ruta 5 Sur.
“Local traffic is no longer priced, that is, the Varoli and Tabaco tolls are eliminated, which no longer exist and where people paid 600 pesos each time they passed. There is also a substantive drop in the rate of trunk tolls for automobiles, because it drops from 2,600 to 2,300 pesos, and also in the case of two-axle trucks, where it drops from 4,800 to 4,100 pesos “, reported the Minister of Public Works , Alfredo Moreno, according to La Discusión.
According to the same media, the new rates “are between 100 and 1,100 pesos cheaper than the previous ones.”
The new consortium will disburse more than 800 million dollars in investment.
The new works will generate 350 average jobs per month during the construction phase, with an average top 500 jobs a month in 2027.
Among the main works, the best local connectivity stands out in the nearly 200 kilometers of Route 5 covered by the initiative, the construction of a 56-km bypass to San Rafael, Talca and Maule and third tracks between the south of San Carlos and the end of the concession in the commune of Chillán Viejo.
In addition, it includes the construction of a series of structures, such as interchanges, returns, walkways and bus bays with acceleration and braking lanes, the development of service streets, new drainage projects, lighting and landscaping, among other works.
