Piedrecitas and 7 South Bridges
Project description
The project consists of two “Y” shaped overpasses, the intersection 7 South and Las Piedrecitas.
Las Piedrecitas and 7 South connect two main streets in Managua to three highways leading into the interior of Nicaragua. Before the construction of the new overpasses these connections caused a significant volume of traffic.
The project will relieve the traffic of roughly 60,000 cars that use the west exit of Managua daily hence the intersections Las Piedrecitas and 7 South are very important to Managua to avoid high traffic density inside the main urban area by ensuring a continous traffic flow.
mageba scope
Seven TENSA®MODULAR expansion joints type LR11, with a movement capacity of +/− 440 mm in both longitudinal and transversal axis of displacement, were designed in collaboration with mageba Switzerland.
