Specifically, the resurfacing is being carried out on the Azagahor road, in the deputation of Torrecilla, and reduces the usual temperature at which the asphalt is worked by up to 40 ° C.

The mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos, has visited the asphalting tasks known as the Azagahor road, in the Torrecilla county council.

"

The First Edil detailed that "the road is being paved with semi-foamed asphaltic mixture that has as characteristic the manufacture of the mixture with a temperature below the conventional of 170 ° C to 130 ° C, decreasing between 20 and 40 ° C the temperature usual manufacturing and, in addition, for the work has been taken into account the milling of access to the homes of neighbors ".

Mateos Molina has taken stock of the performance and is that "it means a reduction in CO2 emissions due to the reduction in manufacturing temperature, which implies a significant fuel improvement saving of one kilo per ton manufactured from mixing. And which also improves its technical characteristics in terms of optimization of handling and extended as it decreases the time required for opening to traffic and reduces oxidation and consequently aging of bitumen, which improves its characteristics throughout the asphalt time and durability. "
