MURCIA NOW claims that a bridge of ashlar stone, the eighteenth century, was demolished in the ditch Alguazas, passing by Aljucer.

Thus, the hydraulic network of the Huerta de Murcia has lost a new element of its associated heritage.

Alicia Morales councilors and Micol Angeles today visited the works being made right now and have found 'in situ' the serious damage of the bridge, which destroyed blocks have disappeared.

The bridge was destroyed in the works of the electrical conduction of the road to El Palmar, with only three meters detour would have prevented the damage.

Another technical solution would have been the temporary removal of part of the structure to place driving under the bridge, through which, rather than raze in the pillory.

The bridge has been reduced to half its width, remaining in sight length of about four meters, this canal gave way to the Royal Road of Cartagena, then National Highway 301 and El Palmar.

NOW MURCIA recalls the historic importance of these infrastructures, and that that road was ordered built by the Count of Floridablanca, in the last third of the eighteenth century, to unite Murcia, from the Carmen with El Palmar, and from there to Port Chain, was inaugurated on 20 June 1785. Throughout the centuries, became a singular point for the inhabitants of Aljucer, whose children played in this bridge and some even remember passing beneath it when the ditch Irrigation did not shoot.

We recall that the drain of Alguazas has suffered other attacks in the past: just a few meters upstream, in previous summers occurred felling protected trees, and there have been regrettable two fires in the area.

MURCIA now is reported that, despite the presentations with great fanfare Mayor and Town Planning on Huerta and conservation, these words do not translate into real and effective protection of the heritage, as evidenced by this case and that so far this summer we have seen how follow Pipings ditches, destruction of singular elements, degradation of municipal assets and the continuation of litigation in the courts, where the city of Murcia denies the cultural values ​​Ballesta claims to defend .

The formation remember that if City Council and had not prevented the BIC declaration of the water network, these elements would no disappearing.

Micol Angeles, Councillor Now Murcia, MURCIA has indicated that NOW has received complaints from irrigators in the area because "the lack of coordination between the Board of Landowners and the builder has left several areas without irrigation de la Huerta for several weeks ".

The mayor also reported that "the new lines have been flooded before being terminated because they have released brewing water walls, causing loss and damage to the works."
