The mayor of Yaiza, Óscar Noda, signed this Thursday the contract for 897,000 euros with the company Horinsa "to execute the project for the total rehabilitation of the 2.4 kilometers of road between the roundabout of the IES Yaiza and the roundabout at the entrance to the town of Puerto Calero", a project drafted and "financed entirely with municipal resources" that has an execution period of two months and a guarantee of five years.
Noda recalls that last June he "personally informed the Director of Road Infrastructure of the Government of the Canary Islands, José Luis Delgado, about this imminent action", also proposing that the road, in the revision of the Catalog of Roads of the Canary Islands, "be classified as a road of regional interest and that therefore the Autonomous Community assumes its ownership".
"The road will be considered within the island network as an alternative access road to the new port of Playa Blanca, so we argue our request, yes, we are an investing and supportive municipality and we will deliver it completely fixed", says the mayor, who points out that "the road will favor the safe circulation of residents of Puerto Calero and its visitors, also the safety of families who travel to the IES Yaiza, but also benefits the traffic that is generated from the neighboring municipality of Tías".
The Councilor for Public Works of Yaiza, Jonatan Lemes, explains that, among other actions, "the work consists of the total repaving of the road, rainwater works, construction of shoulders, one of them two meters wide to facilitate the practice of sports and the paving of the bus parking of the IES Yaiza." "The current road is unsafe due to the wear and tear of many years and we opted for a forceful action with our own resources", says the councilor
