The Province will tender the new Santa Fe-Santo Tomé bridge on December 20
With a video shared on his social networks, Governor Maximiliano Pullaro announced this Monday that on Friday, December 20, at 8 p.m., the Provincial Government will tender the work on the new Santa Fe-Santo Tomé bridge, contemplated in the 2025 Budget, where the total cost of the work, according to the projections of the Executive Branch, amounts to 35,000 million pesos.
In this regard, Pullaro acknowledged: “We are happy because this work, which has been promised for years and years, will be carried out together with Minister Enrico, but mainly because of the effort made by the provincial government” and in this sense he recalled that “we said that if we put order in the State and efficiency in the administration of public resources, the works that the province of Santa Fe needs would be carried out. That is why we wanted to give you this important announcement today.”
For his part, the Minister of Public Works, Lisandro Enrico, confirmed that “at the bridgehead, the tender and envelopes will be opened to learn about the offers for the construction of the new Santa Fe-Santo Tomé Highway Bridge, which will unite these two cities and will be a project entirely developed by the Province of Santa Fe and the Provincial Highway Department.”
The current bridge between the two cities is under constant repair.
The project includes three sectors, two of which are the headwaters and surrounding works in the towns of Santo Tomé and Santa Fe and the other is the bridge itself over the Salado River.
At the head of Santa Fe, the demolition of the existing concrete pavement is planned, which has numerous potholes and deteriorated slabs. Then, the construction of two 9.30 m wide roads is planned (two 3.65 meter wide lanes and a 2 meter wide shoulder), one of them on the existing embankment (practically coinciding with the pavement to be demolished) and the other on an embankment that is planned to be built to the north of the existing one. It will also have complementary works such as lighting, landscaping, construction of a bike path, among others.
At the head of Santo Tomé, a conversion of the existing traffic direction is proposed, which broadly can be summarized as preventing the left turn on Mitre Street for the lane that runs from Santa Fe to Santo Tomé, and changing the direction of Avenida Mitre in the last two blocks before reaching Avenida 7 de Marzo (entrance to the Carretero bridge), turning it into a one-way south-north direction. |
