SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Nov. 28 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Advisory Committee of the Insular Emergency Plan of La Palma (Peinpal) has addressed in the session held today, Monday, the opening at the end of this week of the La Laguna-Las Norias highway 24 hours a day, once the installation of the first group of luminaires along the route of the track is completed.
The vice president of the Cabildo, Borja Perdomo, pointed out that during these days the installation of the necessary number of luminaires is being carried out to be able to open at night, work that will continue in successive weeks, until all the planned lampposts are completed.
Likewise, the security fencing of the road will be installed. Borja Perdomo also wanted to recall that it is a road that is still under construction and that, therefore, it is still prohibited to stop on it, pedestrian traffic and the circulation of bicycles.
To install the lampposts, superficial concrete bases have previously been placed, where the luminaire poles are anchored, thus ensuring that they are not affected by the heat given off by the road surface, due to the lava flows that it crosses.
Perdomo stressed that the Cabildo de La Palma has been complying with the deadlines it had set in terms of communications in the Aridane Valley, which were seriously affected by the volcanic eruption.
“With this opening we take a new important step in terms of security for this road that the Cabildo has executed with its own funds to recover the communications that were seriously affected as a result of the volcanic eruption,” Perdomo stressed.
“We thank the companies on the Island and the Institution’s technicians for the tireless work that has made it possible in a very short time to open this highway 24 hours a day,” added the vice president.
