EASTERN ISFEHAN FREEWAY

The execution operations of "Eastern Isfehan Freeway" with 96 km length in 6 runways were started in 2004. This project with the completion period of 3.5 years is designed and executed to achieve the following goals:

 

Shortening the Tehran – Shiraz distance for app. 80 km

Shortening the Isfehan – Tehran distance for app. 40 km

Acceleration in access roads to Isfehan city

The establishment of the most strategic rings of Isfehan

 

This route has 298 bridges, including 15 huge bridges over Natanz Freeway, Naeen Freeway, Isfehan airport, Ardestan & Zaianderood road & etc. 6 petrol stations should be established beside this freeway. The amount of joint investment in this project is 120 M USD, which consists of 50% Fater Kosaran Jonoub Co. (the private sector company, winner of the tender) and 50% Road & Transportation Ministry of Iran. The cooperation between private & governmental sectors in Iran needs the approval of the board of ministers, so the approval of this project, signed by ex-president & the minister of Road & Transportation, was communicated to the new established "Establishment, Maintenance & Exploitation of Eastern Isfehan Freeway" company. The execution of this project is conducted by Fater Kosaran Jonoub Co.  as contractor. This company uses two asphalt plants & 4 huge crushers beside 500 machineries only in this project. The physical development of this project until end of 2006 is 40%, which we hope in the middle of 2007 the asphalt operation begins and after that another part of the project including the distance between Natanz & Naeen Freeways will be started.  The method of supplying finance resources & returning the capital in this project is payment of 50% of contractor's bills by government & amortizing the rest of it by 5 years bank fixed deposit benefit during 10 years. At last we should indicate that "Rahab Consultants Engineers" Co. plays the consultant role in this project.
