Apart from this tranche, the Government avoids clarify the date on which eventually the entire second round of Sevilla, with 77 miles · This month is charged to the TBM launch in 2011 the tunnels under the river

The works of the second ring road Sevilla continue on without end date certain and sure to be increasingly removed the initial estimate of completing them in 2012. The minister of development could only guarantee yesterday that in 2011 (first half, according to experts, in the municipal election year) the service will stretch 24 kilometers long linking the eastern sector the opposite ends of the motorway A -4 (meaning Cordoba and Cadiz sense) without going into Seville or use the SE-30. Traffic will travel in 12 minutes the distance previously required 25 minutes, representing a decrease of 15,000 tons of pollutant emissions (CO2).

The pending execution of the four tunnels under the river between Dos Hermanas and Coria, which will not begin until at least 2011, and the fact that there are still tender works for 40% of 77 kilometers of the route also indicates that the end of this infrastructure is far away. During the visit to the works, several representatives of the Ministry Building at all times avoided the press to clarify this point and settled the issue with the same phrase: "The deadline will know when it tendered the construction of last mile", ie Northwest-North arch Espartinas going to La Rinconada and thence to the junction with the A-4.

Regarding the progress of work, Development said yesterday that today 60% of the route of the second round is under construction. This percentage, however, includes the only party running, and therefore more advanced, which are 24 kilometers of the stretch east, where just held yesterday the minister's visit and the second section of 20 miles of Two Espartinas sisters whose works are awarded and the contract closed, but with little progress beyond the diversion of services affected and ground surveys.

The scientists in charge of the demarcation of Andalusia Road West, Rodrigo Vázquez, clarified to reporters that the tunnels under the river belong to the second installment and that the drilling machine to be built with these subways will this month for a manufacturer on the basis of data from ground surveys conducted since. It is estimated that the manufacture of bullet will take 14 months, with what to expect in early 2011 to see works between Dos Hermanas and Coria.

The visit, full of authorities, started at the level of urbanization Tarazona, also the point where it converges with the tunnel for future high-speed line being built to Antequera (Málaga). The party traveled in three buses the most advanced work of this section: the first 10 miles of dirt roads and drawn by their median and dozens of overpasses that already form the basis of this infrastructure from the junction with the A-4 ( Cordoba sense) to the junction with the A-92, a few meters from the cement of Alcala de Guadaira. The layout of the round passes behind the new Heineken brewery (Torreblanca), Rafael sale of headquarters Puleva and M. Barea. The two flyovers saving the A-92 still under construction, but the passing traffic has been resolved with a temporary detour and are expected to be built in three or four months, according to experts. It also remains to complete the step of the way of Peromingo livestock, near the Heineken Brewery.

So far no one gram of asphalt in this stage is more advanced. The Boundary Road yesterday estimated that since the spring of next year until the end of summer 2010 should be addressed by asphalting the firm to be the ideal time for this operation.

The draft General State Budget for 2010 allocated 226 million euros for the SE-40, as confirmed by the Minister of Development, who noted that this second round will cost 1,400 million euros in total. White described it as "a strategic project" of his department for mobility in the city of Seville and its surroundings and added that it is the "performance of larger metropolitan area that is being implemented in Spain.
