The mayor of Calpe, Ana Sala, and the councillor for town planning and infrastructure, Juan Manuel del Pino, have visited the works on section 6 of the J road, accompanied by the technical managers of the project, the works manager from the company PROCON, and representatives of the construction company.
Section 6 of Vial J is the last segment to be executed in a project that originated in the 1989 General Plan and that will be one of the key initiatives of this legislature.
With these works, this road, which has been consolidated in phases, will be completed. It will connect with sections 1-5 (which start at the roundabout on Avenida de la Generalitat and end at the roundabout on Avenida Casanova via the Gargasindi district). This will connect Avenida Casa Nova with Avenida País Valencià and Avenida Rumanía, making this section crucial for moving road traffic from the beach area to the national road without going through Avenida Ejércitos Españoles and Avenida Diputación. This road, which according to the plenary agreement will be renamed Avenida Felipe VI, will help to relieve traffic congestion in the town centre.
This project, with a route of more than 500 metres in length and a continuous width of 20 metres, includes all the necessary infrastructure, such as sanitation networks, drinking water supply, street lighting, communications, and sustainable urban drainage systems. In addition, the road development includes wide pavements, lanes for each direction of traffic and an interior median, with tree pits to improve the aesthetics and sustainability of the environment.
The mayor, Ana Sala, has pointed out that ‘the works are continuing at their normal pace and the company assures us that they will be finished in the month of May. It should be borne in mind that the works were interrupted for a month as the construction company travelled to Valencia to help with the reconstruction work on the DANA flood’.
