WORKS CONTRACTS: All have now been awarded for the high-speed rail line in Almeria Province.
High-speed railway on track THE Murcia to Almeria high-speed railway looks to be on track. The Development Ministry has now awarded all outstanding works contracts for the AVE high-speed link in Almeria Province. Last week the ministry’s ADIF rail infrastructure administrator allocated the contracts for the stretches of line between the currently bricked up tunnels in Los Arejos in Sorbas and the
River Andarax in Viator. The €118 million contract for the 17.8-kilometre Los Arejos-Nijar line going through Sorbas, Lucainena de las Torres and Nijar has gone to the company Sacyr Infraestructuras. The company Contratas y Ventas (Convensa) has won the €107 million contract for the 25.5-kilometre Nijar-River Andarax section. Both contracts have a completion pe-
riod of 32 months. Also last week, ADIF allocated the €86 million construction contract for the nearly nine-kilometre NonduermasSangonera line segment in Murcia region, which makes up part of the Almeria-Murcia route. The latest allocations follow the award of contracts for the River Andarax-El Puche and Pulpi-Vera sections of line in January.
