Plans are also being drawn up for a road widening project on the Tipo-SCTEX route, which intended to boost capacity. Another project is the 26km Tipo-Castillejos bypass, which will include the construction of seven bridges. In all the projects are expected to cost some US$2.95 billion, with the work being carried out over the next six years.
