ICA pocketed a MXP437 million contract to construct the Rio de la Compania tunnel, in the State of Mexico. The contract, awarded by the National Water Commission, will be executed over a period of 817 days. The project is part of the drainage works in the Valley of Mexico and will provide significant relief from rain and waste water in the Chalco and Ixtapaluca valleys and for the urban settlements along the Mexico City-Puebla highway corridor. The tunnel, with a total length of 6.78 km and an external diameter of 6.24 m, will be constructed along the left bank of the Rio de la Compania, from the municipality of Valle del Chalco-Solidaridad, in the State of Mexico, to the municipality of Ixtapaluca, where it will empty into the Rio de la Compania.
