A section of Ramón Gallud in Torrevieja has been closed to traffic from Monday 23 February as drainage works begin on one of the city’s main roads. The closure is expected to remain in place until shortly before Easter.

Torrevieja Local Police have introduced a series of measures to maintain road safety and reduce disruption. Illuminated “road closed” signs have been installed at the junction with Calle Orihuela, along with a restriction on vehicles over 3,500 kg. Diversion signs are in place at key junctions, directing traffic via Paseos, the Port and the city exit.

A temporary left-turn lane has been created from Calle Azorín towards Paseo Vistalegre to ease congestion. There is also a provisional diversion towards the northern part of the city from the junction of Joaquín Chapaprieta and Ramón Gallud.

Several school bus stops have been temporarily relocated, including stops between Calle Orihuela and Calle Patricio Zammit, on Paseo de la Libertad opposite Plaza Waldo Calero, and at the junction of Ramón y Cajal and Calle Gumersindo. Police are advising motorists to follow the temporary signage and drive with caution in the area.
