The construction of the third lane of the motorway A-7 from Crevillente to Alhama de Murcia is becoming more essential to economic and social development of the municipality.

For this reason, the Municipal People's Party presented tomorrow Thursday, January 28, a motion in Parliament demanding Municipal Building expansion of road early in order to alleviate the significant traffic problems that are generated daily on this highway.

The existing sections are currently fully saturated, mainly because it is a road where traffic merges happened long distance local traffic between towns adjacent to the city of Murcia and vice versa, so that it can reach in some sections traffic intensity of more than 50,000 vehicles daily.

This situation is aggravated in the event of the A-7 with the A-30, which causes continuous withholdings and queues at the entrances to the city, leading to complications that are totally unsuitable for a path that is assumed to be be of ample capacity.

Remember that in 2006, the Ministry of Development and the Autonomous Community of Murcia signed a cooperation protocol in which they undertook to execute work on the third lane of the A-7, from Crevillente to the limit of the Region of Murcia .

The surprise came on October 28, 2008, when the Delegation of the Government and the Demarcation of Roads announced that this project is so necessary for the municipality of Murcia would go to tender between 2009 and 2010, which represented an advance of schedule for the same, which, in turn, was justified by the fact that the communication channel supported a high traffic intensity.

However, the true reality, to January 27, 2010, is that such an announcement, trumpeted to Murcia and picked up by the media, is not going to comply, as Zapatero's government has not provided a budget for this tender can be carried out.

"The Socialist Party condemns once again the city of Murcia to be the caboose on the investments of the Ministry of Development, with the Murcia continue to suffer the consequences of arbitrary decisions taken by the Socialist Party."
