Lantania starts the final phase of the Lucena bypass works with the A-311

•  The new roundabout connecting the Lucena bypass with the A-311 to Rute opens to traffic

Madrid, 20^th April 2020. The joint venture led by Lantania begins the final phase of construction work on the Lucena (Córdoba) bypass with the A-311 for the Public Works Agency of the Junta de Andalucía following the opening to traffic of the new roundabout connecting the Lucena bypass with the A-311 to Rute. This opening also involves the commissioning of two newly built sections of road entering the roundabout from Rute and Los Llanos de Don Juan, 440 metres in length, and exiting the roundabout towards Lucena, 250 metres in length.

The bypass runs around the city of Lucena to the northwest for 4.1 kilometres, from the A-318 Autovía del Olivar on its Lucena-Cabra section to the A-311 road where it connects to the new roundabout. The newly built road will have a conventional width of 10 metres in total, with a 3.5-metre lane in each direction and 1.5-metre hard shoulder.

This new infrastructure, which has represented an investment of 8.94 million euros, will prevent medium and long-distance traffic from passing through the centre of the city of Lucena. A route that supports an average of 5,000 vehicles per day and the long-distance traffic that used to go to the A-318. The route has three structures, two overpasses that cross the roads of Priego and Zuheros and an underpass below the bypass. Of these three structures, the underpass stands out, with the most voluminous embankment of the work, which has been built to give continuity to the Oil Greenway and the livestock route of the Camino de la Torca.
