Contract for the construction, maintenance and operation for a period of 36 years of the AP-41 Madrid-Toledo motorway and Castilla-La Mancha A-40 highway. Stretch: North of Toledo ring road. The total investment has been €360 M. The motorway AP-41 Madrid-Toledo stretch is a part of the corridor (Madrid-Toledo-Ciudad Real-Córdoba) connecting to the south of Spain and is 57 km in length. It is to be highlighted the construction of 10 viaducts, 48 flyovers and 34 underpasses. The North Toledo ring road stretch of the A-40 highway is a part of the Castilla-La Mancha highway and runs through the Maqueda-Toledo-Ocaña-Tarancón-Cuenca axis. It has a total length of approximately 18 km. It has been constructed 5 links, 3 viaducts, 15 flyovers and 23 underpasses. And the amount is 84.3 million euros. There were two main geotechnical problems that needed to be resolved in this work. First, in certain zones the work encountered the presence of marginal materials and other zones with soft soil supporting extensive backfilling zones. The first problem was resolved with material from the stretch digging treated with lime. For the second problem, we had to work on reducing waiting times by consolidating the land which supports the fills. To do so it was chosen to perform vertical drains in the form of sunken drain wicks. AP-41 Madrid-Toledo Toll Motorway | A-40 North Toledo ring road stretch
