Resurfacing work and improvements to accessibility are moving ahead in Torrevieja, marking a new milestone with the completion of the works on one of the town’s most important arteries, Calle Diego Ramírez Pastor.
The works, which have been carried out by Eiffage, have involved an investment of close to 200,000 euros. The work has covered the stretch from Avenida de la Estación to Calle Apolo.
The execution, which slowed down during the summer, was divided into two phases. The first was between Avenida de la Estación and Calle Orihuela, which finished at the beginning of the high season, in June, while just recently, the final segment was finished between Calle Orihuela and Calle Apolo.
Prior to the work, there were many pavements lacking ramps for people with reduced mobility. The new ramps also have markings and guides for blind people. In total, according to the City Council, 44 actions have been carried out to improve accessibility, thus renovating existing pedestrian crossings and creating new ones. In addition, they point out, the improvements have seen the creation of new means for people with reduced mobility.
In parallel, an area of approximately 15,000 square metres has also been resurfaced during the two phases, including signage. However, the tree pits, which are too small for the size of some trees, have not been touched.
The only thing left to complete in the Re asphalting Plan is the work on Calle Caballero de Rodas, between Apolo and Galeón, where work resumed this September. There, entire sections of pavements are being renovated, taking advantage of the fact that Agamed is also upgrading the entire sewerage network.
