A JV led by Impregilo has won a contract near Milan calling for tunnelling work along almost a quarter of the approximately 33km long toll route.
Tunnel excavation is to be undertaken over 5.5km of the new link road – the Milan Outer East Orbital. The project also calls for 2.1km of cut and cover tunnel construction.
The total budget for the project is approximately US$2.1bn. Design and construction is expected to take six years.
The client that awarded the contract is Concessioni Autostradali Lombarde, and a 50-year infrastructure management concession was agreed to run from the finish of the construction works.
The project promoter is Tangenziali Esterne di Milano, which includes a number of regional road concessionaires.
Impregilo’s concession partners include Milano Serravalle Engineering, Spea, Sina, Proiter, Technital and Girpa plus finance and other companies.
