The public complaint was made this time by the Popular Party in the Cabildo. His counselor, Valentín González, argues that This delay «is a new example of the negligence of this government group, that has had the opportunity to solve the problems caused by the poor condition of the road surface throughout these years and, nevertheless, has looked elsewhere, evidencing its lack of political will to meet a historical demand for the users and, especially, the residents of El Roque and La Escalona ».
The TF-565 is a highway with a lot of traffic, an important part of it for heavy vehicles. It is one of the entrances to the Teide National Park and «it is in a lamentable state of conservation, for which reason for two years we have insisted that the Cabildo include in its budgets an action to improve it, finding ourselves with the frontal rejection of PSOE and Citizens ».
González Évora manifests his “concern” and that of his political group about “the lack of commitment of the island government with the adequate maintenance of the road infrastructures of Tenerife, an aspect that we observe in relation to the TF-565, but that we have denounced in other parts of the island road network.
The works that should have started on August 25 include pre-milling operations, the removal of the asphalt and the replacement of the pavement along the entire road, as well as the containment systems. At the time of the announcement of the work, the insular director of Roads, Tomás Félix García, pointed out that the TF-565 “presents in its almost all abundant potholes and sinkholes, as well as a progressive deterioration as a result of heavy traffic and the increase of the number of vehicles that travel on this road ». He influenced its condition as one of the entrances to the Teide National Park and explained that “the rehabilitation will avoid, in the medium and long term, increased costs in conservation and maintenance activities.”
For safety reasons, both for workers and users of the Jama-La Escalona highway, and During the development of the entire work, the Cabildo contemplated applying specific lane cuts, with alternative traffic passing.
