Benitatxell will expand and improve the security of Camí de l'Abiar

19 December 2019 - 23: 30

Through a grant of 300.000 euros from the Diputación de Alicante, El Poble Nou de Benitatxell will give solution to the great historical claim on the Camí de l'Abiar. It is about conditioning and improving the safety of this rural road.

Earlier this year, the local government prepared a project for expansion and improvement and requested the provincial body to include these works in its Plan of Cooperation and Works of the current year. A few weeks ago, the session received confirmation of the grant, of 296.205,84 euros. In this way, the local entity should only contribute 52.271,62 euros to deal with the work, which amounts to a total of 348.477,46 euros.

The provincial entity will be responsible for awarding these improvement works, which are expected to be carried out throughout 2020. The session already works in coordination with the Provincial Council to facilitate and speed up the process to the maximum, since it is an action highly anticipated and necessary that will help improve an important rural area of ​​the municipality.

The help will allow to face problems that have been dragging for years. Thus, the width of a vial that now combines wider and narrower sections will be homogeneous. It will be extended to eight meters and a marked area of ​​passage will be left for walkers. In addition, horizontal and vertical signage will be resurfaced and placed.

It will also be necessary to demolish some sections of the masonry walls, but when the road is already enlarged, those walls will be rebuilt. The old road has points where the slope exceeds 8%.

Camí de l'Abiar, strategic road

The Camí de l'Abiar has great sentimental value for all the pobleros and pobleras. Formerly it housed a washing machine where people gathered, and currently the Pou de l'Abiar area is a meeting point for walkers and neighbors, who still concentrate there on special occasions such as Easter.

In addition, it is a strategic road in the vertebration of the municipality, since its 471 meters in length connect the urban area with the old Pou de l'Abiar washer, with cultivation terraces and farmhouses and with several urbanizations. In recent years, it has become a fairly busy road.

The mayor, Miguel Ángel García, has indicated that “This great help is very good news for all the people. The improvement of this path is a historical claim that finally comes true. Because such an important road with such history for our neighbors deserves a proper state ”.
