Global steel giant
ArcelorMittal has announced that it has supplied 6,000 mt of
rebar that will be used in a bridge construction project in
Venezuela. The 11 km-long bridge will connect the cities of Caicara de Orinoco and Cabruta, significantly improving transport between the states of Bolívar and Guárico.
The 6,000 mt
rebar shipment made by
ArcelorMittal at the end of December 2012 was received by Odebrecht
Venezuela in the second week of January. The construction of the new bridge is estimated to be completed in 2015-2016.
According to
ArcelorMittal's statement, the
rebar to be used in the bridge construction was supplied by the company's Mexican steel plant, Las Truchas.
