THIRTY SEVEN companies have tendered quotes to the Junta de Andalucia for the job of straightening the A-1200 road which connects Vera and Garrucha and which is used by 18,000 vehicles every day. This will be the continuation of the work already done from Vera to a point about 500 metres past the Hotel Vera.
The works will affect 4.3 kilometres of the road from km. 2.7 to km. 6.5, the Buganvillas roundabout, where the road connects to the Villaricos-Garrucha-Turre road.
The works, which have a budget of 15.4 million euros and which should take 26 months to be completed, involve the construction of two new bridges over the River Antas, one for each direction of traffic flow, and a flyover at the junction with the road to Puerto Rey. Service roads will also be built alongside the main road and a new junction will have to constructed to allow traffic access to the petrol station currently right next to the existing road.
These works form part of the MASCERA Plan (Mejora de la Accesibilidad, la Seguridad vial y la Conservación En la Red de Carreteras de Andalucía/Improvement of accessibility, road safety and conservation of the Andalucia road network). This plan has an overall budget of more than 100 million euros and is co-financed with funds from the European Union.
