AWARDS<br />

MEXICO<br />

2010 <strong>OHL</strong> <strong>Group</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

Two new road infrastructures were awarded in the Federal District. Both are a part of<br />

a project promoted by the government of the Capital for the construction of an urban<br />

toll expressway to link the outgoing freeways to Querétaro, Toluca and Cuernavaca.<br />

The Los Poetas-Luis Cabrera toll road, awarded in April 2010 to Controladora Vía Rápida<br />

Los Poetas, comprises the road system of bridges, tunnels and distribution roads on<br />

the southwest of Mexico City. The road is 5.5 km long, 3 km of which are made up by<br />

tunnels and viaducts.<br />

In addition, during the month of June, the subsidiary Autopista Urbana Norte was<br />

awarded the concession for the construction and subsequent operation of the north<br />

section of the second level of the Mexico City Peripheral Road. This 9-km-long urban<br />

toll expressway will connect at its northernmost point with the Viaducto Bicentenario<br />

toll road in the area delimiting the border between the Federal District and the State<br />

of Mexico, and will link up to the south with the San Antonio Distribution Road.<br />

The opening to traffic of the first section of both infrastructures is estimated to take<br />

place at the end of the 2011 financial year.<br />

INDIA<br />

In June, in addition to adding another concession to its backlog, <strong>OHL</strong> Concessions also<br />

extended its activity to a new market, as the successful bidder in the public call for<br />

tenders for the construction and operation of the future container terminal at the Port<br />

of Ennore, in India. The new terminal will have a 50-hectare esplanade and a berthing<br />

line 1,000 m in length, with a depth of 15 m, and will become the main alternative for<br />

growth in the transportation of containerized goods in East India.<br />

The last section of the first<br />

stage of the Bicentennial<br />

Viaduct was opened to traffic<br />

on November 29, 2010. From<br />
