A cut lane
In the beginning, this project was discussed as the coverage of the sales bridge, but sources in the area have explained that at that point the Metro facilities and a deposit of the Isabel II channel that would make the platform connection will be unfeasible. In addition, the chosen section runs in Trinchera at a lower level than the city to both margins of the infrastructure, which will facilitate the work.
During the course of these works, they explain from the area of works, the central trunk will never be cut, but a priori only one lane of the service road will be affected. The use of prefabricated elements has been prioritized so that its on -site assembly is more agile and traffic condition can be minimized.
Improvements on both shores
To minimize the impact on the vegetation of the Park of La Fuente del Berro, the layout and foundation of the pedestrian catwalks will be subject to the location of existing trees and roads, which will retain their current design. The itinerary of Ramón de Aguinaga Street, which currently leads to the catwalk of the same name, will be enhanced as the main access to the new space from the southwest area, which will be carried out by transforming this street into a single platform route and creating some new stairs that will connect directly to the current catwalk Ramón de Aguinaga on the M-30.
At the north end of the Park of La Fuente del Berro, the existing playground and canine area will be remodel, to which will be added the reform of Alejandro González Street and the Plaza de la América de la América, which will assume the connection of Alcalá Street with the new space on the M-30. Alejandro González Street will be reordered to facilitate traffic and in the Plaza de la América, the east part of the current circulation ring will be pedestrianized.
In addition, all free spaces that exist between the housing blocks and the M-30 in the surroundings of the street of the street will be completely remodeling. Antonio Pirala. This flank will have a new pedestrian walk whose width will be gradually expanded north. The zone will have children’s, sports and older spaces. For its part, the space currently reserved for filming traffic will be integrated with the pedestrian promenade, generating a coexistence vial on the unique platform. The project also includes the most north of Antonio Pirala’s park, which connects with Alcalá Street.
