Revamping the Road: .3 Million for Tamaimo to Los Gigantes Connection

Yesterday, Santiago City Council announced the endorsement of the contracting file and the specifications for the refurbishment works on the TF-454 island road, which links the urban areas of Tamaimo and Los Gigantes. This initiative, overseen by the Tenerife Island Council and with a budget of 2.3 million euros, seeks to enhance the conditions of a roadway whose decline has caused, for years, concern and uncertainty regarding its safety.

The TF-454 holds pivotal importance for mobility in the region, yet its degradation has produced hazards. The local administration stated yesterday that the deficiencies in the road pose a “significant risk, heightening the chances of accidents.” The poor state of the pavement, characterised by cracks, peeling and temporary fixes, impacts both the longevity of the roadway and the safety of motorists. Given these circumstances, rehabilitation has been prioritised to ensure secure and smooth traffic flow.

This decline is not a recent development. Back in 2019, the condition of the TF-454 compelled the postponement of the II Santiago del Teide Sprint Rally. The organising committee had to cancel the event, claiming that “the Tenerife Island Council’s Roads service refused permission to conduct the event presentation and utilise the road due to its inadequate state,” they noted in a statement.

Policarpo Delgado, the president of the committee, expressed regret at the time that the Council had prohibited the use of the road merely the year before, labelling the situation as an “unpleasant surprise” from an institution that, in his view, “we expect to represent us.”

Investment of 2.3 million euros

The TF-454 refurbishment project encompasses a total investment of 2.3 million euros, allocated between 2024 and 2025. In the initial phase, 80,000 euros will be set aside for the tendering and commencement of the works, while the remainder will facilitate the completion of the renovations by 2025. According to the local government, this investment reflects a commitment to enhancing the municipality’s infrastructure, as well as improving road safety.

The undertaking will cover 6,658 metres of the road, from its junction with the TF-82 in the Tamaimo sector to the entry point to Los Gigantes along Quinto Centenario Avenue. The primary objective is to restore the pavement’s surface to boost its functionality and durability, without substantially elevating the structural capacity of the roadway.

This initiative is a component of a larger strategy aimed at revitalising the infrastructure of the island of Tenerife, intending to optimise connectivity and ensure road safety along the most frequented routes.

Residents’ Views

Yesterday, DIARIO DE AVISOS gathered the opinions of several locals, who deem this intervention to be urgent and paramount. Daniel Esquivel, a resident of this section of Santiago, remarked that “this project is one of the main requests of the residents. The condition of the road is appalling and many visitors are taken aback by its deterioration.” Another local concurs that this refurbishment is “anticipated and vital” for improving the quality of life in the area.
