The Chilean government has announced around 800 road projects for 2016, mostly linked to road concessions, costing about US$1.44 billion.

Schemes include those on the Autopista del Sol motorway, such as a third lane between Santiago and Talagante, an alternative access to Penaflor, improvements to the Talagante link and a control centre.

In addition, a $5.2 million stop-and-go tag-type toll payment system will be introduced for Autopista del Sol, which will be similar to ones on Ruta 5 Sur between Angostura and Quinta and also Ruta 68 between Lo Prado and Zapata.

Another project involves a third lane for Ruta 5 Sur, from Peuco to Acceso Norte to Ranconcagua, costing $32 million.
