The Orihuela Council’s Procurement Department has announced the tender for road tarmacking works across the municipality, following a proposal from the Infrastructure Department. With a base budget of €2.3 million (VAT included), this project represents the largest road resurfacing investment in over a decade.
The contract is divided into two lots:
Lot 1 (€1.3 million, VAT included) covers paving work in Orihuela city and its districts.
Lot 2 (€1 million, VAT included) is designated for road improvements in Orihuela Costa.
Infrastructure Councillor Víctor Valverde emphasised the significance of this project, noting that Orihuela has not seen a resurfacing plan of this scale since 2010.
“Our goal is to improve roads, streets, pathways, surface parking areas, and other transit zones across the municipality,” he stated. The project is expected to be completed within 12 months from the commencement of work.
Valverde confirmed that this initiative was made possible by the approval of the municipal budget. Additionally, he revealed plans for another €2 million resurfacing contract later in the year, also divided into two lots: €1 million for the districts and €1 million for Orihuela Costa.
