The award of this contract, developed by the Ministry of Public Works of Chile, was obtained on March 27, 2021, being awarded to the Ibero-Asian Consortium, formed by the Spanish company Puentes y Calzadas Grupo de Empresas (“Grupo Puentes”) and its parent company China Road and Bridge Corporation (“CRBC”).
