The works of the plan of action against the invasion of pigeons that are being developed in the Puente del Hospital have forced to close this road traffic to allow access to machinery for security reasons.
Until 8:00 pm today, traffic will be cut in the direction of Infante and tomorrow, Wednesday, from 8:00 am and until 8:00 pm on Thursday, in the direction of Ronda de Garay.
The Department of Infrastructure, Public Works and Services, and Sports and Health are developing this cleanup work in this structure where currently more than 400 animals nest.
To solve this problem and, at the same time, prevent this situation from recurring in the future, the plan designed by the Municipal Services and Municipal Projects and Health is the cleaning of the bridge and the installation of a special network that ends with the massive nesting of birds in the lower part that forms the three bridge boards.
In them, the intense accumulation of excrement causes deterioration in the affected elements, in addition to lack of hygiene and possible spread of different diseases.
With a budget of almost 30,000 euros and a deadline of one month, the device designed consists of an intense cleaning of the surfaces affected by the excrement, adopting the necessary measures to avoid contamination of the water given the proximity of the riverbed Segura .
With this objective, a 50 mm mesh system will be placed in stone color that will be installed in the beams and slabs of the lower base of the three bridges that currently serve as nesting space for birds.
It will be resistant to UVA and moisture.
The works will include the use of steel cables for frames, bolts for fixing the steel cables, tensioners for the steel cables, nut hooks to fix the steel cable frame and clips to join the network to the frame.
