Work is continuing along Avenida del Cabo in Cabo Roig as the local council moves ahead with a €200,000 project to modernise one of its busiest coastal roads.

The scheme has already delivered improved street lighting, with outdated sodium vapour lamps replaced by modern LED units designed to enhance visibility and reduce energy consumption. Councillor Víctor Valverde has said the change is making a noticeable difference on a road that carries heavy traffic throughout the year, particularly during the summer.

The project is now entering a second phase focused on pedestrian safety and general road improvements. Plans include installing six new lampposts in areas where lighting has been missing for years due to accidents and wear, as well as upgrading the central reservation.

Around 14 pedestrian crossings are also being brought up to current accessibility standards. Several will be rebuilt with proper kerb ramps and corrected gradients to ensure safer, easier access for all pedestrians. The council has said the aim is to improve overall conditions along the avenue, rather than carry out isolated repairs.
