PAPSA TAKES PART IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE JACA BYPASS, THE LARGEST ROAD CONTRACT OF THE YEAR

The General Direction of Roads of the Ministry of Transport has officially proposed the joint venture formed by Sacyr and Papsa to carry out the works on the Jaca bypass, in the province of Huesca. This milestone officially confirms the award of what is positioned as the largest road contract of the year promoted by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility.

The project involves the construction of a new section of motorway approximately 8 kilometres long, specifically designed to link the A-21 and the A-23, creating an alternative route to the Ebro corridor and diverting long-distance traffic that currently passes through the town centre. This major infrastructure project will help to significantly reduce journey times and ease congestion in the town centre of Jaca by avoiding speed-restricted sections and traffic-light junctions. The Ministry’s commitment sets the start of on-site works for next September, with the infrastructure expected to be fully completed by the end of 2031. With this contract award, Papsa consolidates its leadership in the civil engineering sector and in major transport infrastructure projects across the country.
