### A structuring project for mobility in the Chilean capital

AVO, for Americo Vespucio Oriente, is one of the most structuring highway
projects in the Santiago metropolis.

The second phase involves the construction and operation of a double section of
three-lane toll tunnel in the heart of a densely populated urban area, most of
which will run under metro line 4.

The three contracts won by SYSTRA cover Works supervision, Inspection of
buildings along the tunnel alignment and Metro line 4 inspection. Our teams are
providing technical assistance to our client Costanera Norte Group,
concessionaire for the AV0 second phase.

The addition of 5.2km to the existing expressway will link the districts of La
Reina, Peñalolén, Ñuñoa and Macul. In addition to the construction of the
tunnel, the project includes work to improve urban mobility on the surface.

From 2018, our teams were involved in developing the detailed design engineering
of the access trenches and tunnels of this highway project, as well as part of
the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) facilities using BIM design.

### Towards the easing of traffic congestion

The AVO 2 project aims to improve the road infrastructure and reduce traffic
congestion in eastern Santiago as it will complete the perimetrical ring
expressway of the city, enriching the urban landscape with a sustainable
approach via the reuse of materials and the creation of green spaces.
