The Cabildo de Tenerife has allocated €5.1 million for enhancement works on the TF-28 road, situated between La Centinela and La Camella in the municipality of Arona; the TF-334 that links Realejos, San Juan de la Rambla, and La Guancha; and the TF-215 which connects Sauzal to the massacre.
As stated on Sunday by the Cabildo, the initiatives involve the refurbishment of the surface, enhancing signage, stabilising slopes, and upgrading bus stops.
Rosa Dávila, the president of the Cabildo, indicated that “it is essential to enhance the safety measures for road users on the island, and these initiatives exemplify that commitment, as these projects are requested by residents and local councils.”
Dávila also mentioned that these interventions add to the works already completed on 38 roads across the island, amounting to nearly €1 million, which involved stabilising slopes and embankments.
Dámaso Arteaga, the Minister of Roads, asserted that “an unparalleled effort is being made to ensure safety and enhance mobility on Tenerife’s roads.”
He added that these initiatives “not only address historical requests from the municipalities but also form part of a strategic plan to modernise and maintain our island’s road infrastructure.”
The first phase will commence on the TF-28 road, between the sentry and La Camella, with a budget of €1.6 million and a duration of five months, encompassing the refurbishment of the surface, the installation of barriers for slope assurance, improvement of the drainage system, and horizontal markings. Additionally, four bus stops will be updated in Valle de San Lorenzo, El Hornito, Las Flores, and La Florida.
On the TF-334 road, linking the Realejos with San Juan de la Rambla and La Guancha, the works will include the surface refurbishment, reconstruction of the drainage system in the gutters, and a complete renewal of horizontal and vertical signage, with a budget of €1.3 million and an execution timeframe of eight months.
The TF-215 project, connecting Sauzal with the massacre, will encompass paving and enhancement of the roadside edges to ensure greater safety for pedestrians, along with the renewal of seven bus stops, with an execution period of six months and requiring an investment of €1.2 million.
These efforts are complemented by an additional project exceeding €1 million for signage rehabilitation and visibility enhancement on deteriorating roads, along with a recent €30 million investment in the South Motorway (1), in the sections of Arico, Fasnia, and Güímar, as stated in the announcement.
Furthermore, the Cabildo has compiled a total of 38 projects aimed at enhancing safety measures and the refurbishment of surfaces on the island’s roads.
