The mayor, Pablo Ruz, accompanied by the Councilor for Rural Districts, Pedro José Sáez, and the Councilor for Public Services, Claudio Guilabert, has overseen the ongoing work on Vicente Blasco Ibáñez Street. This action is part of a broader intervention that will extend to various points of the municipal area.
Ruz detailed that 1.5 million euros of the budget will be allocated to the rural districts, while the remaining 600,000 euros will be invested in the city. The plan focuses on renewing intersections and areas particularly deteriorated by heavy traffic, parking, and traffic light regulation. Work on Vicente Blasco Ibáñez Street is expected to conclude this Thursday, allowing normal traffic flow from that night.
“"From tonight, traffic will be able to circulate normally."
Within the urban asphalting plan, interventions are planned for streets such as Eduardo Ferrández García, the area around Puertas Coloradas, the intersection of Vicente Blasco Ibáñez with Blas Valero, Maestro Serrano, and various areas of Carrús, Altabix, or Torres Quevedo. The works include milling the pavement, prior patching, laying a new asphalt layer, and replacing horizontal signage to enhance road safety.
For his part, Pedro José Sáez emphasized that the City Council is acting in both the urban core and the rural districts as part of a broader maintenance strategy. He recalled work already carried out on roads such as Vessants de Platero, Camino del Ocho, Camino del Purgatori, Casas Juntas, Camino Viejo de Santa Pola, or Camino de La Rápida, and announced new interventions in the planning phase to extend road network improvements to rural areas.
Claudio Guilabert explained that the plan is executed in phases to minimize traffic disruptions, and measures will be applied to extend the useful life of the interventions. In the case of Vicente Blasco Ibáñez Avenue, companies will not be allowed to open the road for four years, except in urgent situations, thus ensuring the durability of the improvement.
