The new road network includes a total of 12 bridges and 7 new links, with 127,425 m3 of concrete used in the work. The work has been carried out with the highest environmental standards, the design of the bridge has followed the premise of minimal impact on the environment, 1,423,225 tons of materials have been recovered and reused in construction.

Throughout the process of construction, operation and maintenance of the new bridge, approximately 4,600 people have been employed, both directly and indirectly.
