The Cabildo of Lanzarote has awarded the company Hormigones Insulares S.L. the works to improve the surface of the LZ-10 road, in the section that connects the towns of Tahiche and Teguise. The works, financed by FDCAN Funds from the Government of the Canary Islands and own funds from the Cabildo, will involve an investment of 593,586 euros, an amount lower than that budgeted during the public bidding procedure.
"After a decade in which no intervention has been carried out on this road, which currently supports traffic that can reach 8,000 vehicles per day, we are going to renew the surface, since it has quite a few cracks and even collapses in some areas," said the president of the Cabildo, María Dolores Corujo. "With this action we also achieve safer driving," she added.
The work, whose execution period will be three months from the day following the signing of the staking act, also includes the improvement of the current signage, replacing the beaconing elements and providing the road with new horizontal signage with better visual characteristics and technical composition.
"In addition," as detailed by the Minister of Public Works, Jacobo Medina, "the existing guardrails will be renovated, whose posts do not comply with current regulations on containment systems, and new barriers with protection elements for motorcyclists will be placed." "Likewise, action will be taken on the beginning and end of the sidewalks in the entrance area to the Villa de Teguise, through the construction of pedestrian fords that improve accessibility," Medina explained.
