R-4 Toll Freeway, Madrid-Ocaña

The 53 km Radial Freeway 4 improves traffic flow and reduces journey time thanks to the technical characteristics of its design, which also means saving fuel and decreasing environmental pollution.

Azierta conducted the technical services in the control and supervision of the construction works of Toll Freeway R-4 that started in 2001 and were not fully completed until early 2010, with a budget of € 311.3 M.

The design of the freeway, with wide bends, results in maximum safety and comfort, improving the performance of the vehicles and reducing fuel consumption.

Environment preservation has been one of the priorities of the R-4 project, which led to a change – while already at the design stage – in the route of the freeway to avoid affecting some areas such as the paleontological remains found in Cerro Batallones.
