Calpe plans €600,000 road upgrade for three residential areas

Calpe is set to invest nearly €600,000 in upgrading roads in three residential neighborhoods. Empedrola I and II, Cometa III, and Canuta will be the focus of the €596,791.23 project, which has been tendered out to private contractors. The works are expected to last around three months once a contractor is selected. The deteriorating road conditions were highlighted by issues such as potholes, uneven surfaces, subsidence, and damage from tree roots.

The project will involve more than just laying fresh asphalt; it will address underlying problems and include repairs to damaged drainage systems. Road levels will also be adjusted to create a smoother surface. After resurfacing, road markings will be repainted to restore clear traffic guidance. This is part of a broader investment in Calpe's road infrastructure, with the town's spending on road resurfacing projects in recent years reaching nearly €2.5 million.
