SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 4th April. (EUROPA PRESS) –
In a collaborative effort between the City Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and the Mobility department, coordination has been established with the Cabildo de Tenerife for the transportation operation of the initial segment of the innovative Padre Anchieta pedestrian ring. This initiative aims to alleviate congestion at a crucial access point of the Northern Highway (TF-5) and enhance pedestrian safety in the vicinity.
Under the leadership of Councilor Evelyn Alonso, all necessary permits have been granted to facilitate the relocation of the structure. This module, unprecedented on the island, is set to arrive in Tenerife this Thursday afternoon from the port of Seville. A special transportation scheme, combining sea and land routes, has been devised for this 10-ton module, spanning over 30 meters with a curvilinear design. It will be transported by a 38-meter-long, 47-ton truck.
The transfer operation will be accompanied by a police escort to ensure safety and efficiency. The journey will commence from the East Dock towards the Bufadero Service Route exit along the internal port route, as outlined by the City Council.
The convoy will proceed along the Bufadero Service Road; San Andrés Highway; Anaga Avenue; Francisco La Roche Avenue; Vía Litoral Tunnel (reverse direction); Maritime Avenue (reverse direction); Hacienda Building Roundabout (reverse direction); Maritime Avenue; Constitution Avenue; Doctor Antonio Perera Reyes Street (manoeuvre for direction change); Avenida Constitución and Glorieta Tres de Mayo-El Cabo (reverse direction) before concluding at the access point of the Ingeniero Juan Amigó de Lara Tunnel.
Signalmen will be stationed along the route to assist with directional changes on Avenida Constitución and manoeuvres at the Tres de Mayo-El Cabo Glorieta.
The transportation process is expected to last approximately eight hours, concluding around 6:00 a.m. on Friday.
The project, commencing in November 2021, boasts a budget of 8.8 million euros.
The design involves a continuous, curved ring-shaped beam, approximately 100 meters in diameter, supported by a specific support system. Additionally, a plaza will be connected to the current parking lot of the Faculty of Biology at the University of La Laguna. The total length of the ring will be about 314 meters.
