The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Highways area, has started the construction of the roundabout at the junction of the TF-217 highway and its access road with the TF-5 highway, in the municipality of La Victoria.
The works will have an estimated duration of five months, reports the Cabildo.
This work will provide La Victoria with a circular roundabout of 30 meters in external diameter with three branches, an infrastructure similar to those that the Cabildo de Tenerife is executing in collaboration with different town halls in the region to increase the comfort and capacity of the road island TF-217.
The First Vice President and Island Councilor for Highways, Enrique Arriaga, explains in the note that the objective of this action is to speed up one of the main access points to the municipality, through which an average of 3,530 vehicles circulate every day.
In addition, Arriaga emphasizes that “it is an area where both pedestrians and vehicles attend and that these works will not only improve circulation, but will also increase road safety.”
The insular director of Highways, Tomás Félix García, indicates that serious traffic jams occur at this point and for this reason he has been working with the City Council for some time to design this roundabout, which will mean a significant improvement for circulation.
