Spain’s Castilla-La Mancha government lays out 12-year road plan

Spain’s regional government of Castilla-La Mancha will spend around US$282 million on new road infrastructure as part of a major 12-year highways strategy.

Castilla-La Mancha approved the Third Regional Roads Plan this month which envisaged spending upwards of $1.6 billion in the 12 years.

The plan will be reviewed every four years.

The landlocked autonomous region of Castilla-La Mancha lies mostly southeast of Madrid and includes one of the Iberian peninsula’s largest windswept plateaux.

September last year, Castilla-La Mancha’s Department of Development issued a tender for planning and construction of a motorway to link the towns of Toledo and Ciudad Real.

Potential bidders had 12 months to present a proposal for the project believed to worth around $188,600.  State-owned company Ineco will complete project planning, while the government of Castilla-La Mancha and the Ministry of will Development will be responsible for construction of the highway.
