Avignon bypass

9 March 2010 - New contracts - France

Since mid-November 2009, teams from Eurovia’s Aix-en-Provence office and its Avignon and Perpignan sectors have been participating in the creation of the East-West link (LEO), an expressway some thirty kilometres in length that bypasses Avignon (south-east France) and will ultimately link the A7 and the A9 to the south of the city.
The teams are working on a 6 km stretch in the central section of its route. They are charged with adjusting the base layer, the creation of drainage in extruded concrete (9 km of slotted gutters), the application of the mix and the construction of 6 km of crash barriers in extruded concrete. Worth €6.7m, the works are due for completion in April 2010.
