The asphalting tasks are focused around the roundabout located at the intersection of Tarragona and Josep Tarradellas avenues, a strategic point that is part of the C-14 route. These works are part of the expansion project that began last October, which aims for the roundabout to have a diameter of up to 12 meters. Peripheral sidewalks have also been adapted and bollards have been installed around the perimeter of the junction.
The renewal of the asphalt pavement, which is scheduled to run until tomorrow Thursday, affects vehicle circulation. Consequently, alternative passage is provided in both directions on Tarragona avenue (within the C-14) and Josep Tarradellas avenue has been closed to traffic. The main objective is to reduce vehicle speed and improve safety in a high-pedestrian area, as it is located next to the Institut Alfons Costafreda and the Escola Agrària.
“"The council reaffirms its commitment to adding safety, accessibility, and sustainability while we await the definitive project for the C-14 bypass, which must be a key infrastructure for the future of our city."
The package of interventions, awarded to the company Romà Infraestructures i Serveis SAU, has a total cost of 287,136 euros. The Generalitat de Catalunya contributes with a subsidy of 150,000 euros through the Servei Català de Trànsit. The improvement plan also includes the installation of tactile paving for visually impaired people, the expansion of the bike lane, and the placement of ten luminous pedestrian crossing signs with solar panels, in addition to the renewal of lighting points with LED technology.
