The City Council will make available to all Murcia the 10,500m2 of this new environment, coinciding with the beginning of the September Fair.
The new left mota has a bike lane and a pedestrian path of almost 2 kilometers in length, connecting the lanes of Beniel with those of La Contraparada.
The mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, has visited the works that are running on the left bank of 'Murcia Río', a new naturalized space that will open to all Murcia next Thursday, September 5, and will feature a bike lane and a pedestrian promenade in differentiated spaces, thanks to the new pavement naturalized in two shades, which is being installed.
“An extension of more than 50,000m2 of green areas and naturalized spaces framed within the 'Murcia Río' project has already been opened to Murcia, recreating the Huerta and recovering the riverside vegetation, said the mayor of Murcia, who said that“ next week, coinciding with the start of the Murcia Fair and the descent of the Virgen de la Fuensanta to the city, more than 10,500 m2 of the new speck, which has also been revered with native trees and shrubs. "
Specifically, 160 new trees have been planted on the left bank, among poplars, elms and clams that, together with numerous shrubs, form naturalized walks that accompany the flow of the river, surrounded by native nature.
On the left bank, the works have been carried out with an investment of 500,000 euros, in an execution period of four months.
The works have been co-financed by 80% by the European Regional Development Fund (Feder), within the framework of the Operational Program for Sustainable Growth 2014-2020, with the DUSI Strategy.
Connection with Beniel and La Contraparada
The left bank houses two exclusive lanes for bicycles and pedestrians, almost 2 kilometers long, respectively, which establish a new connection between the city and the Huerta, surrounded by riverside vegetation.
Both the lane for the exclusive use of bicycles and the pedestrian path, differentiated with a yellow hue, have a length of 1,900 kilometers.
In this way, the left bank of the river walk connects the bike lane and the path that runs to Vega Baja, to Beniel, with that of La Contraparada.
160 new trees, among poplars, elms and clams
As noted, 160 new trees have been planted on the left bank, including poplars (50), elms (40) and almeces (70), in addition to more than 3,200 riverside shrubs of different species and sizes;
vegetation that is next to the channeling wall to provide areas of shade to the bike lane and the pedestrian promenade, and in the planter attached to the jetty that protects the speck.
All proposed plant species are native and typical of the Segura riverbank.
Likewise, access from the mote to the 6 stairs that access the river is being paved with porcelain stoneware tiles, improving accessibility and inviting Murcia to stroll through the Segura environment.
In addition, the City Council plans to rehabilitate the stairs in a subsequent action.
