Impregilo Awarded Jonica State Highway Project in Italy

Impregilo – in association with Astaldi – has been awarded the contract tendered by ANAS, the Italian highways authority, for a general contractor to handle construction work on the third maxi-lot of the Jonica state highway (the SS-106).

The new contract is worth approximately 791 million euro (with the Impregilo share accounting for 40 percent). The new road will be 38 km long, from the junction with state highway 534 (SS-534) to Roseto Capo Spulico (Cosenza).

The main works in the project include construction of approximately 13 km of tunnels, approximately 5 km of viaducts and 20 km of embankments. The total project schedule is approximately 7 years and 8 months, including 15 months of definitive and executive project engineering and construction start-up, and the remaining 6 years and 5 months for actual construction work.

The award of the new contract – together with the construction work on the two main maxi-lots (lots 5 and 6) of the Salerno-Reggio Calabria motorway from Gioia Tauro to Campo Calabro, which will be completed within the next 18 months – confirms Impregilo’s commitment to investing resources and competences to create growth in southern Italy through the construction of efficient new infrastructure.
