El Risco-Agaete highway, Spain
Name of the Project
El Risco-Agaete highway.
Location
The project is located in the municipality of La Aldea de San Nicolás, in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands – one of the 17 autonomous regions of Spain.
Project Owner/s
Regional Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Housing of the Canary Islands.
Project Description
The project involves the construction of the El Risco-Agaete highway section in the municipality of La Aldea de San Nicolás. The El Risco-Agaete section will complete the route of the GC-2 to La Aldea, replacing the old GC-200, a hazardous road because of constant landslides.
The mountainous terrain that the new route must cross means that the project includes the construction of various special structures over just 8.5 km, including eight tunnels, two viaducts, one underpass and three intersections.
Two parallel tunnels – each more than 2 km long, with a 6 m radius and a 5 m clearance – will be built in the first phase.
The viaducts will be located in El Risco and the La Palma ravine.
The first will be 522 m long and 15 m wide, over a 70-m-deep ravine, while the La Palma viaduct will be 127 m long, with a variable width of between 16 m and 12 m.
