OHL Concessions and Sacyr Concessions have submitted the best proposal for the construction and concession of Santiago de Chile's Americo Vespucio Oriente urban highway (AVO), which has a budget of EUR710 million. The project comprises building and operating this 9.3 km urban highway, large sections of which will have three lanes in each direction. Some of the more prominent work among the primary projects on this highway, which will stretch across five Chilean communes (La Reina, Las Condes, Vitacura, Recoleta and Huechuraba), include the tunnel under the San Cristobal hill and Mapocho river, improvements to the pre-existing surface roadways in La Piramide, and two underwater carriageways from the south side of the Centenario bridge to Príncipe de Gales.
