Since May 30, 2014, more than 16 million
residents, commuters and tourists have used
the urban ropeways in La Paz and El Alto. And
because the response to the aerial transport
network built by Doppelmayr/Garaventa in
Bolivia has been so overwhelmingly positive,
the state-owned enterprise Mi Teleférico has now
taken the decision to continue its successful
approach of environmentally friendly mobility.
Doppelmayr was awarded to contract to build
another six urban ropeways on March 5, 2015.
These will provide another boost for mobility,
improve infrastructure and relieve traffic congestion.
Extensive ropeway network for all
Twenty kilometers of new ropeway routes will be
constructed by 2019 as part of this new mega
project. The red, yellow and green lines (Líneas
Roja, Amarilla and Verde) in Phase I created a
ropeway network covering ten kilometers and
eleven stations. The new Phase II lines – again
detachable 10-passenger gondola lifts – will be
known as blue, white, orange, sky blue, purple
and brown, and include a total of 23 stations.
The timetable for the four-year project is as
follows: The start-up of the Línea Azul (blue)
and the Línea Blanca (white) is planned for
2017, with Naranja (orange) and Celeste (sky
blue) to follow in 2018, and finally Morada
(purple) and Café (brown) in 2019.
Doppelmayr/Garaventa will again be delivering
the installations for the second phase on a
turnkey basis. This means that the experts will
take responsibility for the entire construction,
production, ropeway technology, installation,
logistics, etc., as well as for training personnel
on site. |
