The Council of Tenerife has launched some emergency works on the road TF-1 with the objective of sanitize a slope which is located in the curve prior to the connection of the caletillas, in a southerly direction. During working hours, it will be necessary to proceed to cut some sections of the road, reports the Cabildo.
The First Vice President and Island Councilor for Highways, Enrique Arriaga, explains in the note that the means used to contain the structure of this slope are highly affected by previous landslides and by the passage of time, which makes it necessary to replace them immediately. .
Arriaga adds that during the three months that the works will last, the cleaning of the slope is expected to be carried out in order to prevent future landslides and details that this includes both the projection of concrete mortar to reinforce the structure, as well as the installation of a support system formed by steel cables.
When will there be traffic cuts on the TF-1?
For his part, the island director of Highways, Tomás Félix García, reports that until January 8, 2023, the works will be carried out from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and that during this time cut right lane of the road in the south direction, while from the 8th, work will be done at night, that is, from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and, on this occasion, the cutting of the entire road in the south direction, so that in this hourly section the traffic will be diverted to the left lane of the road in the Santa Cruz direction.
