Chile choses Chacao Chiloe crossing consortium

The Chilean authorities have awarded the project to build the Chacao crossing to a consortium comprising OAS, Hyundai, Systra and Aas-Jakobsen. The winning bid was for US$680.4 million.

The project has been halted and delayed a number of times over the years but this move will see the work going ahead at last, with construction expected to take some 79 months.
