It will mean a regional investment of 1.2 million euros
The Autonomous Community has begun the construction of a new bridge on the RM-D8 highway, which crosses the Biznaga ravine of Lorca, which will increase its drainage capacity and prevent any damage that may be caused by possible floods of the rambla, which collects waters from other nearby channels such as Torrecilla, Béjar and part of Nogalte.
The new bridge has a regional investment of 1.2 million euros and a deadline of 10 months.
It will have a length of 110 meters and a width of 10, with a road of two lanes, each of them of 3.2 meters, to which are added shoulders of 1.3 meters.
The Minister of Development and Infrastructure, Patricio Valverde, accompanied by the Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, today supervised the start of the action, which framed in the "new Lorca that will mean an unprecedented improvement of both the urban environment and the communications of this city".
Patricio Valverde stressed that it is an "important work" that significantly improves the communication of the municipality, access and road safety of more than 1,300 vehicles that circulate daily on this regional highway.
"In addition, it will remedy that, before the periodic heavy rains and floods of water along the promenade, the road is cut and the vehicles are washed away by the current," the counselor explained.
The stretch of the RM-D8 road, on its way through the Rambla Biznaga, will be cut off to traffic from next week until the end of the work.
A detour has been established at kilometer 2, which runs between the Piña, Almohijar and Real or Los Valencianos roads.
This action will be completed with the improvement and expansion of the drainage system of roads RM-11 (Lorca-Águilas) and RM-621 (Lorca-Purias), which cross the Rambla de Biznaga, which will involve an investment of two million euros .
Thus, the regional government will carry out improvement actions worth over 3.2 million euros on the ravine.
19 companies interested in the RM-711
Valverde indicated that the bidding deadline for the remodeling of the regional highway RM-711 has just been closed, from its junction with the road that runs between Lorca and Zarzadilla de Totana (RM-C9) until its junction with which it connects with Swamp of Bridges (RM-C15).
"A total of 19 companies have been presented and our objective is to determine the successful bidder as soon as possible," said the counselor, who recalled that the action will mean the improvement of one of the most important communication routes of Lorca and that responds to a of the historical claims of the neighbors.
The bidding budget amounts to 1.8 million and the term of execution of this action will be ten months.
The work involves the renovation of the pavement of the road, the construction of two roundabouts to improve safety and facilitate traffic movements at the junctions with the other two roads (C15 and Barranco Hondo).
The Minister stressed that more than 30 million euros have already been allocated to the renovation of 28 roads that represent a length of 183 kilometers.
He noted that his Department continues to work on the rest of the projects committed by the Community, whose total investment amounts to 346 million euros.
