On 28 July, VINCI Construction Grands Projets signed a $27.3m (€19m) contract with Nidco (National Infrastructure Development Company) for the design and construction of a composite bridge spanning the Churchill Roosevelt Highway at the level of the community of Aranguez, on the island of Trinidad and Tobago. The works are scheduled to last 16 months; once completed, this structure will allow the elimination of the highway’s last traffic lights (at El Socorro and Aranguez), and fulfil the authorities’ wish to improve traffic flow between the capital, Port of Spain, and San Fernando. It will be recalled that VINCI Construction Grands Projets already supplied, on behalf of Nidco, the second works package of the CRH/UBH (Churchill Roosevelt Highway/Uriah Butter Highway) motorway interchange, brought into service on 1st May last.
As heir to venerable companies whose names are associated with the most prestigious international references, VINCI Construction Grands Projets has all the key competencies required to deliver complex projects.
