Work to improve road safety is being carried out in Cieza, Ulea, Santomera, Ojós and Ricote
The Community has invested 158,336 euros to prepare and improve safety on rural roads in five municipalities: Cieza, Ulea, Santomera, Ojós and Ricote.
The roads on which works are being carried out in Cieza are those from Ascoy to la Carrasquilla; Ascoy to Carrasquilla through the Loma Vieja Tamarit; de los Cabañiles, and Los Losares. In addition, actions have been carried out in the rural roads of the River (Ulea); of the Zancas de La Matanza (Santomera); from Candel to El Cajal (Ojós), and Motor de los Anselmos and La Tejera (Ricote).
The works that are being carried out in Cieza, for an amount of 48,097 euros, are intended to repair the damage caused by the DANA in 2019. On the road from Ascoy to la Carrasquilla through the Loma Vieja, which connects both population centers, the road is being rebuilt, applying a new layer of tread.
On the road from Ascoy to La Carrasquilla, which connects numerous agricultural holdings, part of the pavement and the affected slopes have been demolished. On the Tamarit road, the base of the pavement was affected in different sections, as well as a slope, which is why the tread layer has been replaced. On the other hand, in that of the Cabañiles a layer of asphalt agglomerate has been applied and the hard shoulder lined with mass concrete. In Los Losares, which joins the RM-532 with various farms, a sinkhole has been repaired.
In Ulea, work has been carried out for an amount of 43,403 euros to repair the Rio path, parallel to the Segura. The works have consisted in the cleaning of the cracks, the profiling of the exterior slopes, and the replacement of affected wood and furniture.
In Santomera, actions have been taken on the path of the Zancas de La Matanza, for an amount of 41,515 euros. The works have consisted of reinforcing the tread layer, after prior cleaning of potholes and subsidence.
