Madrid City Council has initiated the rehabilitation of the waterproofing system on the decks of the four structures of the ramp connecting Sanchinarro with the service road of the M-40 northbound.
The project, driven by the Department of Works and Equipment, has a municipal investment of 1.2 million euros and will be developed over an approximate period of two months. The City Council will take advantage of the current traffic closure of the ramp, due to works being carried out by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, to undertake the intervention without causing additional traffic disruptions.
According to information provided by the City Council, the planned timeline for the municipal works is shorter than that estimated for the Ministry's works, meaning the intervention will be integrated within the period the ramp is already closed.
The scope of intervention includes four structures of the junction: the underpass VI0811-C, the junction VE0816 over the A-1, and the overpasses VE1614 and VE1616. In total, the works will cover a surface area of over 7,000 square meters of decks.
The primary objective of the work is the comprehensive rehabilitation of the structures' waterproofing system through actions executed from the upper side of the decks. This will involve milling the existing pavement down to expose the deck slab and completely renewing the waterproofing system.
Through this intervention, the City Council aims to eliminate water infiltration and improve the durability of the structures. The works will also include the replacement of the road surface to restore rolling conditions, as well as specific repairs to deteriorated elements, replacement of road joints, and drainage improvements.
The project intends to extend the lifespan of these infrastructures and enhance their conservation and safety conditions, preventing the progression of pathologies primarily associated with leaks.
