After months of disruption as part of the Lagoons Village development, the residents of the Jardin del Mar urbanisation in Torrevieja have had to endure noise, dust, and access problems, and now, as the new Jose Carreras road is finally nearing completion after delays, the residents of this urbanisation face permanent access and egress problems.

Situated between the Jardin del Mar and new Lagoons Village development, sometimes previously called the “wibbly wobbly” road, the “wibbly wobbly” bit has been taken away and the road widened giving two lanes in each direction, with the exception of part near the auditorium.

However, because of the widening of the road, a central reservation is installed, which means that from Jardin Del Mar you will only be able to turn RIGHT. So you will have to drive to one of the roundabouts and double back if you want to go to the CV-905.

Similarly, coming from the auditorium, you will not be allowed to turn left into Jardin Del Mar, and so will have to go to the roundabout and double back.

Obviously, somebody, somewhere thought this was a good idea to keep more vehicles on the roads for longer. Similarly, the bus route will have to be adapted. Moreover, access for emergency services will also be problematic. No doubt adding to the frustration of the residents in one of the most neglected and forgotten urbanisations ignored by the town hall, and now becoming even more isolated.
