The Tenerife City Council of La Laguna will invest 18 million euros in the next four years in a new plan to resurface and improve the municipality’s road network. This investment will be carried out through a road maintenance contract that the Works and Infrastructures area will put out to tender in this academic year, the City Council reported in a statement.
“From the City Council of La Laguna we continue with our commitment to improve the roads of the neighborhoods and towns of every municipality, attending to the demands of the citizens and following technical criteria to prioritize intervention in those streets that need it most,” he commented the mayor of the city, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez. “This new resurfacing plan will represent a very important investment to reinforce the safety of our road network and move towards universal accessibility, which are primary objectives of this government group.”
For the mayor, “the investment of 18 million in four years will translate into qualitative and quantitative improvements. Beyond resurfacing the roads, this new service will include actions of various kinds, such as, for example, the renewal of signage and the adaptation of sidewalks ”.
