Lope Afonso undertakes to promote the construction of the Alcalá bypass, in Guía de Isora, whose execution should have been carried out “after the Fonsalía branchwith the objective of reduce traffic congestion in this town and guarantee quick and fluid access to the tourist areas of Santiago del Teide». In a meeting held in the area, the candidate of the PP to the Presidency of the Cabildo includes this project among those that the term that ends is pending.
The PP candidate for Isorana mayor, Carlos Álvarez, claims “a greater commitment by the president of the Cabildo with our municipality, which is the great forgotten area of the South of the Island.” In his opinion, the saturation of the Alcalá crossing is yet another traffic collapse on the Island. Lope Afonso announces this work as essential so that traffic, economy and travel in this environment “flow normally.”
the PP defends that the variant of Alcalá It is a road that was projected as a continuation of the Fonsalía branch, which connects the highway with what was going to be the new commercial port of the Island. Its construction would reduce the traffic of the crossing of the nucleus and would allow a fluid circulation towards the tourist zone from Santiago del Teide.
Despite being a strong social demand, the Cabildo has not included this initiative in the insular budgets during this mandate, “which generates a deep disappointment.” Afonso recalls that “the administration invested 15 million euros in the Fonsalía branch with the intention of giving it continuity with the Alcalá variant” and, nevertheless, “what we find is absolute inaction on the part of the Cabildo, revealing something that we have repeatedly denounced: the lack of planning in areas as strategic and important as mobility”.
For more than 30 years, Guía de Isora has been demanding a variant to solve the traffic problem in Alcalá, an urban route of the TF-47, the road that runs between Armeñime (Adeje) and Los Gigantes (Santiago del Teide) by which more than 20,000 vehicles transit daily, according to data from the Cabildo.
