The Ministry of Transport has confirmed that it will restart the bidding process for the Centenario Bridge. The decision comes after construction companies withdrew from the project, forcing the administration to cancel the previous tender. This infrastructure is key to improving connectivity in the area.
Construction technology: new specifications to attract companies 🏗️
The new tender will include revised technical specifications to avoid the issues that led companies to withdraw. Advanced foundation methods and real-time structural monitoring systems are expected to be incorporated. The ministry aims to attract more interested companies through more flexible conditions and a construction schedule adjusted to the reality of the materials market.
The bridge no one wanted to build: second round in search of brave souls 😅
It seems building a bridge in Spain is harder than finding a bar open at three in the afternoon. After a first attempt where construction companies fled as if they saw a ghost, the ministry is back at it. Now we just need some charitable soul to take on raising the structure, or a sponsor willing to donate cement.
