Setmanari l'Ebre has highlighted the modification of the Delta Strategy for sand dredging and the start of the reconstruction of the Sequesos bridge in La Ràpita, both significant local news items.

The latest edition of Setmanari l'Ebre features two current topics in the region on its front page. Firstly, the redirection of the Delta Strategy, which foresees a significant reduction in the volume of sand to be dredged to reinforce the coastline. The plan will shift from mobilizing 11 million cubic meters to 6 million, distributed across a greater number of smaller-scale operations. Furthermore, the material will no longer come from the four deposits identified in 2023, but from the tips of La Banya and El Fangar.
Secondly, the publication emphasizes the demolition works of the Sequesos bridge in La Ràpita. This infrastructure recently collapsed, having been closed to traffic due to damage caused by floods. Construction of the new bridge will begin immediately and is expected to be operational before the end of the year.
