The expansion work of the Santa Cruz Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), which is being carried out by the Ministry of Ecological Transition in the capital, requires establishing new traffic changes in the area around the Buenos Aires neighborhood, in the Ofra district -South Coast, starting this Monday, November 13works that will have an approximate duration of five weeks.
The execution of new delivery pipelines between the Wastewater Pumping Station (EBAR) of Cabo Llanos and the WWTP of Buenos Aires, works corresponding to phase 1 of this work, will mainly affect the streets Panama, República Argentina and the intersection with the Philippine Islands and Nicaragua.
According to the company responsible for the execution of these works, the upper section of Panama Street, between República Argentina Street and the intersection with Islas Filipinas and Nicaragua Streets, will be occupied. It is a 6 meter wide strip from the exit lane of the Buenos Aires industrial estate through the false tunnel of República Argentina, to the intersection with Nicaragua and Philippine Islands streets. This section is closed to outbound traffic from the industrial estate to the TF-5 by the Taxi Cooperative.
A single lane will be left available for vehicle circulation, which will be the entrance to the industrial estate from the branch of the TF-5, towards Buenos Aires. Due to this, entry will only be possible at this end of the polygon, with the exit being at the southern end of the polygon, towards the links with TF-1 and TF-4.
From the TF-5 branch, inbound traffic is maintained, both towards Buenos Aires (neighborhood and industrial estate) and towards Tres de Mayo, La Salle and Avenida Marítima. From the Buenos Aires neighborhood, the entrance will be maintained through Puerto Rico Street, which will see its direction changed, as the meeting between República Argentina streets (false entrance tunnel) and Panama streets will be closed. The fact that Panama Street will have a single direction in this section and the change of direction of Puerto Rico Street will in turn cause modifications in the signage of the Philippine Islands and Nicaragua streets.
Furthermore, as a consequence of the occupation of the works, the need to park the machinery, and the provision of materials and auxiliary means, all the parking spaces on Panama Street will be reserved.
