The Minister of Public Works and Planning, José Ballesta, accompanied by the mayor of Alguazas, José Antonio Fernández, today inaugurated the panoramic footbridge crossing the railway bridge over the Avenue Alfonso X El Sabio Alguazas.
The counselor noted that "the action that satisfies a longstanding demand of the alguaceños will allow residents cross on foot, in complete safety, the bridge over the line-Cartagena Chinchilla Avenue Alfonso X, located in the heart urban, thus ensuring safe mobility of pedestrians. "
Thanks to the new infrastructure passers not have to travel to the nearest step, which was more than a kilometer from Avenue Alfonso X.
In this sense, José Ballesta said: "This action marks a milestone in the history of Alguazas, for just once and for all the old division that separated the two population centers of the town, a frontier that has influenced both the development of city as the social relations of the neighbors. "
The gateway is located on kilometer 443 of the rail line Chinchilla-Cartagena, which crosses the avenue Alfonso X.
The budget for the works of the project, conducted at the request of the City of Alguazas, amounting to 556,947 euros, which have been funded equally by the Community, ADIF and Feder funds.
The work consisted in the construction of a footbridge alongside the existing bridge with a separate metal frame.
The gateway has a width of 2.50 meters and a length of 40 meters, which can be accessed through two gently sloping ramps that provide access to people with disabilities.
In addition, action has included the surrounding urban environment, by providing sidewalks that allow pedestrian traffic, the complete renovation of public lighting and the installation of appropriate signage.
