Development of the Mapacho Río Park 

The first section of the Mapocho Rio urban park, one of the main urban parks that is being developed in the city of Santiago de Chile, was inaugurated a few months ago. This first stage covers an area of 8.2 hectares and a length of 1.4 kilometers. The park is made up of a children's play area and water, plant restoration with native vegetation, a rest area as well as other social areas. The mobility of the park is structured by bike lanes. 

The Mapocho Rio project has six phases, five of which are carried out by FCC Construcción, which includes action in more than 80% of the entire project, covering a total area of 42.6 hectares. It is one of the largest urban works in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago de Chile. 

Currently, FCC Construcción is developing the Puente Industrial project, a viaduct that will cross the Biobío River, one of the main rivers in the Chilean country, both due to its geographical characteristics and its economic and historical importance.
