The pedestrianization works on Avenida Alfonso X el Sabio continue their development as planned.
In this way, the concreting works of the area that includes the Plaza de Santa Ana to Santo Domingo have already begun and by the middle of this week will be developed in the section corresponding to the Jesús María school, up to Gutiérrez Mellado avenue.
In addition, at the end of this week will proceed to divert traffic from residents in the area of ​​the walk already completed in order to begin paving from the Plaza Santo Domingo.
Mayor José Ballesta has visited the works that, according to the forecasts, will end next week in order not to affect the beginning of the course and where later the paving will take place.
After these works, the last phase of the project will be developed, which includes the other half of the central promenade from the dead end street of the Jesús María School side to Enrique Villar Street, which will take place from August 31 to October 19.
This initiative will allow the incorporation of more than 14,000 square meters of new pedestrian surface, providing linearity to the entire walk from Santo Domingo to the Plaza Circular, thus creating a space restricted to vehicular traffic to residents, public transportation (taxis), school zone and loading-unloading in a regulated schedule, circulating in a single direction towards Santo Domingo on the west side, the one next to the church of Las Claras.
The current area of ​​terraces will be reconfigured without increasing it and a new system of intelligent waste collection and adaptive LED lighting with low consumption will be implemented.
With all of this, the aim is to reduce noise and pollution in this area, providing greater neighborhood tranquility, while enabling new public spaces for stay and walk.
The project includes the enabling of a two-way bike lane that will run along the current west roadway.
Also, the current public bicycle rental system will be maintained in the vicinity of the new avenue.
Likewise, the existing trees will be maintained along the entire walk, more specimens will be planted (orange trees that will cover the entire west side and also palm trees) and shrub vegetation in flowerbeds as "orchards" on the east side, reaching triple the current vegetation and creating new spaces of natural shade.
The materials for the paving of the entire avenue will be based on stone in different formats and textures, a material of great strength and formal qualities.
The works are developed by the UTE formed by Orthem Services and Environmental Actions and Constructions Sangonera, with an investment of 1,881,195 euros, and in a period of eight months, so next autumn Murcia will have a totally renovated avenue
