The slopes of the road, which are formed by rocky massifs that sometimes cause landslides on the road and prevent access to the castle, will also be secured.
The Ministry of the Presidency and Development begins work to improve access to the castle of Lorca and its connection to the south of the city.
Thus, it will invest more than 1.2 million euros in the remodeling of the access road and ring road to the castle of Lorca, actions that have an execution period of eight months.
The general director of Roads, José Antonio Fernández Lladó, along with the mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, supervised the start of the works and stressed that "they are especially relevant because there will be a new means of communication to facilitate the arrival of the numerous tourists who visit the castle and the National Parador ".
The works are divided into four phases and, according to Fernández Lladó, "they start with the stabilization of a landslide in the north zone", by means of the execution of a wall of retained concrete rock, 30 meters long.
The second phase will reinforce safety by consolidating the slopes of the road, which will prevent landslides on the road, through a protective mesh constituted by a network of interwoven cables.
At present, the slopes are formed by rocky clumps disgregados and unstable that sometimes cause landslides on the road and disrupt access to the castle.
Subsequently, a new road connecting the castle to the southern part of the city, more than 1.3 kilometers long and 8 meters wide, will be built.
This new infrastructure will improve the conditions of circulation, accessibility and security to this area so important for the municipality.
This intervention includes installing vertical and horizontal signs along the entire road, bionda protective barriers for drivers and anti-glare screens in the section parallel to the A-7.
The last phase of the works will focus, on the one hand, on the conditioning of the existing road to repair the deterioration and deformations that hinder the passage of vehicles and, on the other, on the extension of the platform, in order to adapt it to the level of traffic that it supports at present.
It will also be the resurfacing of the current road access to the castle on a stretch of 1.61 kilometers and improving the signaling and drainage of this road.
