Torrevieja City Council is investing an additional €7 million in the port area, bringing the total investment to €21 million. This significant financial commitment is aimed at preparing the area for the highly anticipated opening of a new leisure centre in the upcoming summer.
To ensure that the new leisure centre’s opening coincides with a revitalized port area, the council has initiated three key projects:
New Wastewater Pumping Station: This essential infrastructure upgrade is necessary to accommodate the increased water volume generated by the new leisure centre. The project, budgeted at €449,198.61, will involve constructing a new pumping station capable of efficiently handling the additional wastewater load.
Electrical Upgrades: To power the new leisure centre and other facilities in the port area, the council is investing €3,627,872.40 in electrical upgrades. This includes the installation of two new electrical transformers and the modernization of the existing electrical infrastructure. These upgrades will ensure a reliable and efficient power supply for the entire area.
The upgrades will also allow the return of the fairground to the seafront from their current facilities in the Antonio Soria park.
Connecting Walkway: To enhance accessibility and connectivity within the port area, the council is constructing a new elevated walkway. This €2,922,870.31 project will link the Levante dock with the new leisure centre, providing pedestrians with a convenient and scenic route.
These investments are crucial for the revitalization of the port area. By improving infrastructure and creating new amenities, the council aims to attract more visitors, stimulate economic growth, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents and tourists alike. Additionally, these projects will facilitate the return of popular events like the May Fair to the port area, benefiting local businesses and the community.
