A new 23km road is being built that will improve connections to Peru's port of Callao by linking the Avenida Argentina with the Panamericana Norte highway. The US$186 million project will be carried out by a Brazilian contractor, 1339 Andrade Gutierrez. Work on the new Nestor Gambetta project is getting underway and when the road is complete it will improve safety in the area and reduce congestion on existing links by carrying heavy vehicle traffic moving to and from the port.

    One of the largest construction programmes in Europe is being carried out to get a Russian resort ready for the Winter Olympics. Patrick Smith reports.

The city, on the east coast of the Black Sea, near the border with Georgia, bustles with tourists, and this is boosted with delegates at the 9th International Investment Forum Sochi 2010.
