Next chapter at the CRH-UBH interchange

30 April 2011 - New contracts - Trinidad & Tobago

Having built, and brought into service on 1st May 2009, the main bridge of the Churchill Roosevelt Highway – Uriah Butler Highway (CRH-UBH) interchange, the teams from VINCI Construction Grands Projets have now been awarded a new contract, for the further development of this infrastructure and to continue improving traffic flows between the capital, Port of Spain, and the island’s main population centres.

Valued at $30.8m (€22.8m), it covers optimising the interchange (link-ups with existing structures, planning work in preparation for the possible addition of supplementary features) and the design and construction of two composite engineering structures, 61 metres in length, spanning the Churchill Roosevelt Highway. The foundation stone for this project was laid on 18 February.
The works started in late March, and will take some 17 months to complete.
