The Arona City Council has begun the resurfacing work on five streets on the Costa del Silencio, Las Galletas and Las Rosas, whose pavement shows significant deterioration, with potholes and cracks that pose a risk to driving and can cause mechanical damage to the vehicles.
The Department of Works and Infrastructure, which has invested 92,000 euros in the projects, has already completed the resurfacing of Avenida Príncipe Felipe and Calle La Paz, in Las Galletas (in the absence of the installation of traffic signals), and last night Work was scheduled to be completed on Calle Diana, on Costa del Silencio, one of the busiest streets in this urbanization, which connects the El Chaparral shopping center area with the Maravilla urbanization.
Precisely, last month residents of the Costa del Silencio contacted this newspaper to denounce the state of abandonment of the road. “There are potholes in which it seems that a missile has fallen,” one of them ironically described the deterioration of the road through which tourist buses, rental cars and private cars and motorcycles circulate daily.
The resurfacing work will be completed next week on the Jupiter and Cefeo roads, in Las Rosas, as confirmed by the mayor of Arona, José Julián Mena, who visited, together with the area councilor, Ruth Lorenzo, the streets of Las Galletas and the Costa del Silencio where the machines and operators work.
The southern City Council recalled yesterday that in the last six and a half years more than five million euros have been invested in asphalt paving and conditioning plans for more than 200 streets, paths and roads in the municipality within the framework of the #AronaAvanza program.
