Azvi is undertaking the construction of the Las Angosturas bypass on the A-333 in Priego de Córdoba. This will replace the existing winding route and reduce the elevated level of danger on the current road. Azvi is responsible for the construction of a 5.7km section of new road on the A-333 in Priego de Córdoba. The project includes a 112m long viaduct and a 16m long bridge. After being awarded the project by the Public Works Authority of the Andalusian regional government, Azvi planned a pilot project which incorporates the use of BIM methodology. The 122m viaduct over the River Salado will be divided into three spans: 37.85m, 42m and 32m, respectively. The deck was placed on top of two 2m high box girder beams. The 30cm thick slab was then poured and concreted. The project encountered a number of complex environmental and archaeological challenges all of which were meticulously addressed with measures designed to protect both wildlife and historical heritage. One such measure included the temporary restriction of earth movements to safeguard the Bonelli’s Eagle. During construction works, we uncovered the remains of a unique Roman oil mill dating back to the 1st or 2nd centuries AD. To preserve this significant find, Azvi will construct a 740m bypass between kms 3.2 and 3.9. This will consist of an embankment that maintains the layout and elevation of the road and will require the movement of 77,000 cubic metres of earth. Las Angosturas Bypass
