The Town Hall of Orihuela has published the tender for a significant contract aimed at resurfacing roads throughout the municipality. Led by Councillor Mónica Pastor, this initiative arises from a proposal by the Infrastructure Department, with a total budget of two point three million euros including value-added tax. This marks the most substantial investment in road surfacing in over a decade.

The contract is divided into two main lots; Lot one has a budget of one million three hundred thousand euros for work in the town centre and nearby areas, while Lot two, dedicated to improvements in roads in Orihuela Costa, has an allocated budget of one million euros.

Victor Valverde, the Infrastructure Councillor, emphasised the project’s significance, noting that Orihuela has not seen such a resurfacing plan since two thousand ten. He stated, “The goal is to improve the conditions of all local roads including streets, paths, parking areas, and other transit zones.”

The expected duration for the execution of these works is twelve months, commencing from the signing of the project initiation document. This initiative represents a proactive step towards enhancing vehicle access and safety across the municipality.
