📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma) has awarded, for 33.9 million euros (VAT included), the works for the modernization and improvement of the tunnels of Fabares, Villaviciosa, Deva, Infanzón, Cefontes, Brañaviella and Niévares of the A-8 and A-64 motorways, in Asturias.
Among others, improvements are promoted in emergency exits, signaling, beaconing, lighting, ventilation, electrical installation, fire protection, closed-circuit television surveillance systems, drainage of toxic liquids or traffic management.
Although the tunnels currently have favourable operating conditions, the action is carried out to adapt their facilities, in line with the provisions of the Royal Decree on minimum safety requirements for tunnels of the trans-European road network.
The intervention is included in the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), which includes investing up to 357 million euros (VAT not included) of the NextGenerationEU funds to modernize more than 80 tunnels and enhance the protection of wildlife and vulnerable users in the State Road Network, through actions distributed throughout the national geography.
