Provincial council, the Diputacion, will spend €200,000 on improving the surface of AL-7105 road that links Zurgena and Antas via Ballabona.
The Diputacion announced the project in January and said that this winding, narrow road was among the most impressive of Almeria’s provincial road network.
Antonio Jesus Rodriguez of Public Works said that although the new Almanzora Motorway has reduced the number of light vehicles, it is still necessary to maintain a large flow of heavy traffic on the AL-7105. He said that this was because of the nearby marble quarries, and gravel treatment plant.
In order to increase the resistance to wear, the asphalt will be treated with a bitumen mix.
A total of 1.65 kilometres are to be repaired, although work will be required at the AL-7105’s intersection with the N-340, where the road signs would also be repainted, Rodriguez said.
The Public Works chief stressed the importance of improving communications between smaller municipalities and ensuring that roads with the heaviest amount of traffic, as well as those in industrial and commercial areas, were maintained in perfect condition.
