A few weeks ago, the Department of Works and Infrastructures began the comprehensive refurbishment of Calle Río Darro in Las Lagunas. In addition to modernising all the supply networks, the aim is to improve mobility, all with an investment of 878,202 euros. “The works continue to progress at a good pace, with the aim of improving the existing infrastructure in the streets, as well as achieving a more aesthetic appearance for the area”, explained the mayoress Ana Mata (PP), who added that “we are also making this roundabout which speeds up traffic and determines who has priority and where we have to go”.

To be specific, the project includes the creation of a new roundabout at the beginning of the street to improve vehicle traffic at the junction of the two branches of the street and the parking area next to the water park. “There will be a roundabout right at the end of the water park, which starts in Calle Río Darro and improves traffic flow between this street, Camino de Molino de Viento, which we already refurbished last year, and the end of Calle Río Darro with El Juncal”, explained Juan José Torres Trella (PP), councillor for Infrastructures and Works.

In addition, the supply and sanitary sewers networks will be replaced and new telephone and electricity networks will be installed to repair possible accidental breaks and in anticipation of the undergrounding of the overhead cables at the crossroads. New luminaires with LED technology will also be installed to reduce consumption and gas emissions. “We are going to improve the streets where there are a large number of residents, who also deserve to have their streets remodelled and brought into line with the century in which we live”, said Mata.  At the same time, the pavements and roads will be renewed with ceramic paving, and new vertical and horizontal signage and street furniture will be installed. 

According to the mayoress, the aim “is to obtain a result that meets accessibility criteria, renewing the paving with materials used in similar projects and modernising the street lighting system. The idea is to homogenise the streets of the municipality”. She also pointed out that the works are at 15% completion; it is expected that the works, which also include the installation of underground containers, will be finished at the end of April or early May.
