ACCIONA completes construction of a key tunnel and viaduct in Tijuana, Mexico

 

ACCIONA The construction of the tunnel has been completed El Soler and the Viaducto Matadero en Tijuana (MéxicoThe project, promoted by the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA), seeks to optimize logistical capacity and road safety in this strategic enclave of Baja California.

 

Critical infrastructure for trade and urban mobility

 

The completion of these works represents a fundamental milestone for connectivity in the region. The tunnel El Soler and the Viaducto Matadero They have been conceived as comprehensive solutions to mitigate traffic congestion in Tijuana, one of the cities with the greatest commercial dynamism due to its proximity to the border. In addition to the main structures, ACCIONA It has carried out various complementary works to ensure that access works smoothly and efficiently.

 

Both structures are over a kilometer long, adding a new dimension to the area's road network. Their design prioritizes... durability and structural safetyImplementing two lanes in each direction that allow for constant and safe circulation for the transport of goods and passengers.

Tunnel El Soler	1.014 m	2 lanes in each direction	SEDENA
Viaducto Matadero	1.091 m	2 lanes in each direction	SEDENA

 

Technical challenges and specialization in civil engineering

 

The execution of this project has been developed under a complex geotechnical environment, which forced ACCIONA to deploy cutting-edge construction techniques. Variations in the geological conditions of the terrain required exhaustive control at each phase to guarantee the integrity of the structures and the protection of the workers.

 

Among the most significant operational challenges, the company managed the excavation using a sequential construction system with controlled advances. This methodology, along with specific support and lining solutions, allowed them to maintain the operability of the urban environmentminimizing the impact of the works on the daily lives of the citizens of Tijuana.

 

• Time optimization: Significant reduction in daily commutes within the corridor.
• Road safety: Implementation of advanced systems to prevent incidents in high-density sections.
• Network capacity: Increased permitted vehicle flow in a key area for international transit.

 

This project aligns with the initiatives of the Mexican authorities to transform mobility in Baja CaliforniaBy improving the basic infrastructure, we directly contribute to the quality of life of the population and strengthen the economic competitiveness of the region within the framework of global trade.

 

Key points and frequently asked questions about the project in Tijuana
