The Regional government has removed the €5 million previously allocated in 2024 for the expansion of the CV-95 road in Torrevieja from the 2025 budget. Only €250,000 remains between 2025 and 2026, likely just for project planning. The original plan was to widen about 800 metres in front of the road near Torrevieja University Hospital.
This move contradicts promises made by President Carlos Mazón, who had pledged to expand the entire 30 km stretch between Torrevieja and Orihuela to ease traffic congestion.
The road is a key link between the Vega Baja coast and interior, with 15,000–20,000 vehicles daily, and frequent bottlenecks at the N-332 junction.
The budget still includes a small sum (about €500,000 over two years) for another section between Jacarilla and Los Montesinos, a project first initiated by the previous Botànic government before it left office in 2023.
Despite other major road investments elsewhere in the region, the general public has waited since the 1990s for the CV-95 to be upgraded. Past efforts, including a failed toll highway project and halted expansions, were mired in legal, environmental, and financial setbacks.
It would seem that promised road improvements for Torrevieja have been scaled back, disappointing expectations set by the current government.
