INAUGURATION OF CIUDAD DE CALI AVENUE, CALI’S MAJOR ENGINEERING WORK IN THE LAST YEARS

November, 2018

Last Tuesday, October 30, Mayor Maurice Armitage inaugurated the extension of Avenida Ciudad de Cali between Carrera 50 and Carrera 80. The project has been carried out by a business consortium of which RUBAU is the principle member.

The project has consisted of the building of two road bridges, one over the Canal Interceptor Sur and the other over the Meléndez River; connecting bridges for cyclists; and a road with a total length of 1,100 metres and a width of 60 metres between the planned bridges, connecting the roads Carrera 49 and Carrera 81a.

According to Marcial Quiñones, Secretary of Infrastructure of the city, it is the major civil engineering work carried out in Cali in recent years. The project has provided a link to the south-eastern part of the city. The districts of El Caney, Ciudad Córdoba and Valle del Lili stand to gain the most, as they formerly had only one road to the area

This project, part of the Megaobras Plan approved by the City Council, which aims to provide Cali with modern and efficient infrastructures, have made Rubau part of the city’s development and growth.
