SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, March 30. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife has begun work to rehabilitate the TF-211 island road, as it passes through Nelson Mandela Avenue in the municipality of La Orotava, an action with an investment of 381,120 euros to restore road safety in this section due to the that an average of 21,000 vehicles circulate daily and that it presents a significant deterioration with significant cracks, cracking of the pavement, potholes and peeling.
The First Vice President and Minister of Roads, Enrique Arriaga, points out in a note that “the expected duration of the works is about three months, it is a superficial but important rehabilitation of the pavement, the works contemplate other actions related to the improvement and conditioning of the existing drainage through the replacement of a transverse fence and the execution of two new ones, the fitting out of new zebra crossings that will significantly improve road safety”.
It also adds that “the accessibility and safety of pedestrians will be improved with the conditioning of pedestrian crossings and the relocation of a bus stop.”
The island’s director, Tomás Félix García, adds that two types of actions will be carried out to restore the surface.
On the one hand, in the screed areas, the existing layer will be milled and in the areas that show structural exhaustion, the pavement will be reconstructed in a broader layer.
