SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 5th June (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Tenerife Council, under the Mobility and Roads Department, will be relocating the fourth module of the Grand Pedestrian Loop of Padre Anchieta on Thursday.
The transportation process will mimic the method used for the three existing pieces already on the island, commencing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife Port to Padre Anchieta roundabout.
The movement of the new module will necessitate traffic adjustments on the TF-24 road, leading to the closure of all entrances to the Padre Anchieta interchange, starting from 11:00 p.m. this Wednesday until 2:00 a.m. on Thursday, followed by another closure from 00:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. on Thursday.
As a result, the following diversions have been established for TF-5 access: from TF-24, the new access branch will be utilised; from Geneto via Mayber and Lora as well as Tamayo streets; from Trinidad Avenue using Pedro Zerolo and Lora y Tamayo streets or through direct access to the mentioned avenue; from Astrofísico Francisco Sánchez Street and Bartolomé Cairasco Avenue, the detour will lead through TF-265; access to La Laguna from TF-5 will be through Lora y Tamayo and San Benito; for accessing TF-24 from TF-5, the route involves Lora and Tamayo, Mayber Street, Camino San Miguel de Geneto, Domingo González Pérez Street to TF-265 and lastly, the route from TF-5 to Geneto will divert through Lora and Tamayo and Mayber Street.
Tenerife Council urges drivers in the vicinity during the module installation period to exercise caution, follow signage, and adhere to Highway Operators’ instructions.
The project encompasses the installation of an 11-module walkway, forming a 314-metre ring aimed at alleviating congestion at the roundabout – the primary gateway to La Laguna’s historic centre via the TF-5 North highway – and ensuring safety for the many pedestrians, particularly University of La Laguna students attending faculties in the region, as per a statement from the Council.
The construction contract was awarded to Obras Huarte Lain for €8.8 million.
The project involves a continuous curved ring-shaped beam of around 100 meters in diameter, supported by a specific support system, with a square linked to the existing parking area of the Biology Faculty at the University of La Laguna.
