The resurfacing of the last section of Tenderete Street, in the Argana neighborhood, will be completed this week. The Arrecife City Council, through the Department of Public Works, will finalize the works on the last section in the coming days.
The council agreed last September to suspend these works so that the state company Acuaes could install the new Submarine Outfall Network in the subsoil. Mayor Yonathan de León made this decision so that the execution of the Outfall Network, which crosses a section of this neuralgic road, would not have to force the creation of new trench openings in this road.
Now, with the work in the subsoil completed by the state company, the City Council has given the green light to the company awarded the integral transformation of Tenderete Street to resurface the pending section, between Iguazú and Avenida de Los Geranios streets.
Yonathan de León Machín, and the vice president of the Cabildo and councilor of Public Works, Jacobo Medina, visited this Monday the final works of the resurfacing of this section, which will allow the integral transformation of the road, between the section between Víctor Hugo street and Avenida de Los Geranios. Remember that last summer the resurfacing of the section between Víctor Hugo and Iguazú streets was carried out.
The set of all the works has allowed to provide the areas of Argana and Titerroy, with a modern road to connect the largest population neighborhood of the city with the emerging commercial and industrial area of Argana.
The entire Tenderete street is equipped with new sidewalks, with an average width of 2.5 meters, and has trees along its extension. In addition, speed bumps have been placed on the road. The works have been awarded to the company Lanzagrava for an amount of 1,280,279.68 euros. The Arrecife City Council has had the financing of the Municipal Cooperation Plans for this action, from the Public Works Area of the Island Council.
"The installation of the new lighting network on this road will begin during the first quarter of 2024," the mayor recalled. These works on the new lighting network are carried out with a parallel project, directly tendered by the city council.
"These works, demanded by the residents of Argana Alta, will give a good change to the urban image of the neighborhood and improve one of the main arteries of the city, transforming the current space into a safer, more accessible one for pedestrians, and with shaded areas with beautiful jacarandas that we have already planted this fall," De León remarked. "The Argana Alta neighborhood asked for a comprehensive reform, and thanks to this action, the city council complies with the residents by executing important public works throughout the neighborhood, which will be joined by more works in this new term," detailed the first capital mayor.
Likewise, Jacobo Medina, celebrates the culmination of these works. "The interventions are already in the final stretch, in the connection of Víctor streets with the Hugo Avenida de Los Geranios, allowing a modern road connection with the Titerroy neighborhood," Medina highlighted.
The mayor reminds the residents that with the works a "new irrigation and rainwater network" has been installed, as well as "new underground low voltage pipelines for low consumption public lighting and telecommunications." Yonathan de León points out that the city council aims to carry out "more rainwater works in this term, with future road interventions."
The integral transformation of this road has contemplated the placement of tree pits with jacaranda trees between Iguazú and Víctor Hugo streets, and in addition, a two-meter wide median has been enabled between the space between Iguazú and Avenida de Los Geranios to facilitate the pedestrian crossing of the street, which will have plantations inside.
