The Torrent City Council has launched a paving plan that will extend throughout July, aiming to improve the surface of numerous streets and roads in the municipality, thereby enhancing safety and road comfort.

The works, which have already begun with preliminary milling, affect various areas such as the El Molí neighborhood, with notable actions on Granerers, San Ernesto, 9 d’Octubre, and Campoamor streets. Work is also underway in the Monte-Real urbanization and in El Vedat, including streets like Garellano and Juan Pablo II.
Other key points include sections of Pintor Renau street, between Azorín and San Valeriano streets, del Salze street, and roads like Pintor Pedro Cámara. Additionally, paving is planned for Padre Méndez street, in the section connecting to CEIP Sant Pasqual, and actions on paths such as the one bordering the A7 and another in Calicanto.
One of the most significant interventions will be the complete reconstruction of a main artery in El Xenillet, affected by the recent Dana storm. These tasks are coordinated with other urban improvements, such as the renovation of gardens and trees on Pintor Renau street, where bitter orange trees are being planted.
The work on Garellano street will complete the renovation of sidewalks and accessibility in El Vedat. The mayor of Torrent, Amparo Folgado, has emphasized that the goal is to "maintain the city in the best conditions, improving the safety, mobility, and image of our neighborhoods".
Folgado added that these works are part of a "continuous planning to renew urban infrastructure," coordinating paving with improvements in gardens, trees, and services. For his part, the Councilor for Urban Planning, José Francisco Gozalvo, explained that the prior milling ensures "a higher quality and more durable finish".
