Section: Connection with the TF-13, Mesa Mota-Gorgolana’ tunnel. This project will be situated within the municipalities of La Laguna and Tegueste, on the island of Tenerife.

This initiative, which stems from the Special Territorial Plan of the Metropolitan Area Road System, involves a layout project for a tunnel that will connect the Northeast Region of Tenerife with the metropolitan area.
Over 20,000 vehicles each day will no longer have their movements hindered by delays encountered at the so-called Las Canteras microroundabout.
Through this action on the TF-13 motorway, access traffic to the Anaga natural area and various localities in the La Laguna municipality will be segregated from regional traffic, significantly benefiting the communities of La Punta del Hidalgo, Bajamar, Tejina, Tegueste, and Valle de Guerra, which collectively house more than 25,000 residents.
The Mesa Mota-Gorgolana tunnel project has been awarded to the UTE Ayesa Ingeniería y Arquitectura, SAU; MLH Engineers, IC3.
The undertaking is focused on overcoming the elevation of Mesa Mota, a geographical landmark that marks the municipal boundary between these boroughs. The design features a tunnel comprising two separate lanes, each measuring 1,050 metres, connecting two points along the TF-13 highway and facilitating roadway interactions with the Vía de Ronda lagunera and the insular TF-13 highway in the vicinity of the San Bernabé slope.
