The renovations have started today and will end this month
Circular Square will be more and better lit and more efficiently from the second half of July.
It is another consequence of the implementation of the tram in Murcia, whose implementation has been a renewal of public spaces and a new impetus to initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability.
This morning we have begun the work of dismantling the old lights to install new ones.
The new lighting will have a total of 89 new 10.995wy will be points of light LED technology, replacing the previous sodium vapor 79, whose consumption is reduced 6.000w less, which saves emissions atmosphere 12,622 kilograms of CO2 annually.
The LED lamp helps reduce utility costs, while improving visibility and produce less light pollution.
24 of these points of light, which doubles as a lamp equipped with a 5.5 meters high and another at 10.3 meters should be located on the outer ring of the square while the rest will be installed in the sidewalk.
The works, which will end later this month, are executed by the company Murcia Traffic SA.
With the renewal of the lighting completes the renovation in the Plaza Circular, which has won more than 4,000 square meters and a better pedestrian traffic management.
Following the work carried out has five lanes, one more than before, outside of which is reserved for public transport.
In addition, we eliminated all the islands and created a traffic area completely clear.
We have also carried out the suitability of four major areas that facilitate loading and unloading operations of private vehicles may park for up to 15 minutes and after 20 hours.
Finally, we have created two new sections of bike lanes: one to attach the Primo de Rivera and Alfonso X the Wise, while the other runs through the inside of the square.
