The contract is worth EUR120.9 million and construction will take 31 months. This 12 km section forms part of Tenerife Island's ring road. From Icod de los Vinos to Santiago del Teide, the existing C-820 road is very sinuous, narrow, dangerous and does not meet mobility needs. The new road will serve Buen Paso, where a short cut-and-cover tunnel will be built. In the Icod valley, the road will pass through eight twin cut-and-cover tunnels. To cross the escarpment that closes the Icod valley to the west and protect the landscape of La Culata cliffs, a 1,217 m twin bore tunnel will be constructed in La Vega. The La Vega tunnels will be connected by three cross-passages with exits to the nearby cliffs and will be equipped with widened lay-bys.
