The Councillor of Infrastructure for Orihuela, Ángel Noguera, has reported the award of the contract for the replacement of pavements in La Regia and La Zenia in Orihuela Costa. This contract has been awarded to the company Serrano Aznar Obras Públicas S.L.U, for a total amount of 440,175 euros (VAT included) and will take four months to complete.
Ángel Noguera explained these “are necessary works since we are talking about urbanisations built in the 60s and 70s in where many roads now fail to comply with the current regulatory conditions of accessibility, as well as vehicle circulation. Pavements that are invaded by trees, preventing pedestrian movement, poorly executed access to homes, lack of signage for parking and the absence of horizontal road signs, both directional and parking, as well as safe crossings pedestrians”.
The scope of the La Zenia urbanization works corresponds to Carrer del Carmen, Avda. Las Palmeras and Calle Colon. The total approximate surface area of the road work in the La Zenia urbanization is 18,245 m2. The scope of the La Regia urbanization works corresponds to the streets Isla Cabrera, Isla Dragonera, Isla Sardinia, Isla Córcega and Isla Formentera. The total approximate surface area of 18,370 m2.
The works included in the project basically consist of a substantial improvement of pedestrian accessibility on the routes, as well as an improvement of the pavements, both pedestrian and for vehicles, mainly due to their deterioration due to the time elapsed since their installation. Trees will be removed and replaced to make the area more scenic as well as accessible.
