The Mayor highlights that the announcement in the BOE of the construction project of the Lorca-Pulpí section is a magnificent news that confirms the commitment of the Government of Spain with the arrival of the AVE to Lorca.
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has indicated that the announcement published today by the Ministry of Development in the Official State Gazette (BOE), by which it is transferred to public information, for purposes of obtaining land, the "Project of construction of the platform of the Mediterranean High-Speed ​​Corridor Murcia-Almeria, in the section corresponding to Lorca-Pulpí ", definitively promotes the railway communication of our city.
Fulgencio Gil has stressed that this progress is a decisive step.
We are witnessing a historical event.
After 33 years, the recovery of the railway connection between Lorca and Andalusia is accelerating in a constructive, serious and rigorous manner.
We Lorca currently have a Government of Spain that has marked a line of work within the Ministry of Development so that the high-speed rail route stops being an eternal project to become a reality.
The First Edil has indicated that Lorca will probably be the maximum benefit for the recovery of rail communication with Andalusia.
As the county seat and subregional capital that we are, we will have a rail network that allows thousands of neighbors from other nearby regions to move to our city in a comfortable and fast way.
The reality is that Lorca will win, and very much, thanks to the decisions that are being made, and to the unequivocal determination of the public administrations in this regard.
Fulgencio Gil recalled that the closure of the connection by train between Andalusia and Lorca in 1985 translated into practical terms in a kind of condemnation that the Guadalentín region lived with its back to dozens of municipalities in Almeria, with whom we really share a story common that enriches us all.
We are talking about sister cities, with which we will have the opportunity to carry out common projects that benefit all citizens.
The First Edil has also said that before Lorca and Andalusia had a connection of the nineteenth century and now we will have a line of high performance.
Lorca are starring in an authentic historical landmark.
The project that we are being able to raise together for our New Lorca in common includes in the communications aspect, reconnecting with Andalusia.
It is a strategic and historical project, which will boost our relations with our neighboring autonomous community.
Fulgencio Gil has stated that this new impulse to communication by AVE eliminates any doubt about the determination that the Government of Spain executes for the definition of the Mediterranean corridor.
It is evident that these decisions confirm the commitment to the integration of the railway in Lorca.
It is great news.
The Mayor has indicated that this boost is added to the commitment of the Government of Spain with the arrival of the AVE to Lorca and its urban integration.
We have already been informed that the distance to be buried has been extended by 600 meters, from 1.3 to 1.9 kilometers, and we continue working with the idea of ​​prolonging this section.
The fact is that Lorca are going to have a railway line completely buried in the urban fabric, a station also underground and another in modern, comfortable and functional San Diego.
