FCC to build the section from El Batán to Coria, Cáceres, in 28 months for 38.8 million euro

The Department of the Ministry of Public Works has awarded FCC Construcción, in a joint venture with another company, the contract for a new section of the EX-A1, the dual carriageway that will be connecting Plasencia with the Portuguese border. This road, which will run from El Batán to Coria, in Cáceres, is 10.6 kilometres long, will take 28 months to complete and has a budget of 38.8 million euro.

The new dual carriageway will lie parallel to existing roads EX 108 and EX 109. It will have two 3.50-metre-wide lanes, a 2.50-metre-wide outer verge and a one-metre-wide inner verge. It will also have two junctions, at kilometre point 5.170 for access to La Puebla de Argeme, and at kilometre point 9.681 for access to east Coria; and it will have thirteen structures in all, including three viaducts.
