Sustainable urban drainage works in La Zenia, in Orihuela Costa, will be completed in October, which is a year later than planned. The project got underway in January last year with a nine-month implementation period and a budget of 1.5 million euros, and with constant and ongoing disruption to this busy access road, leading to La Zenia beach, local residents are quite rightly up in arms at the unacceptable and constant delays.
Now, work is under way on Avda de las Palmeras once again, between the crossing with the N-332 road and Cala Bosque, after it was halted over the Easter period so as not to inconvenience holidaymakers, and according to municipal sources, the same will happen during the summer.
This comes after the works were stopped for almost a year because of a modification of the project.
The same project also includes la calle del Carmen, on the stretch between Calle Columbus, la calle Colón and la avenida de la Playa, and a section of Paseo del Mar.
This work, which is reflected in the Master Plan de Pluviales, allows the collection of water on Avda de las Palmeras and Calle del Carmen by two scuppers that cover the entire width of the road with a length of nine and six metres, and that allows the water to flow away.
