As we introduced in yesterday’s articles, they’ve begun digging up Plaza de Madrid, eradicating the cobblestone floor.
Almuñecar readers and residents would possibly recall that the City Corridor laid a part of this cobblestone floor for the Avenida de Andalucia in Could, 2018, costing 275,000 euros. Plaza Madrid obtained its cobblestones in 2017.
The explanation for the roadworks is as a result of fixed site visitors had triggered the floor to sink, which was the case in 2017 with the Paseo del Altillo lane and which needed to be dug up and sorted, too.
However you would possibly assume that there was work on the Plaza de Madrid extra not too long ago and you’ll be proper; final July when emergency work was carried out in the course of summer time to kind out the sinking stones, pressed down by the passage of lorries and municipal buses.
Anyway, having eliminated the cobblestones they’re going to break up the concrete beneath and examine the underground infrastructure; mains water, drains, phone and electrical energy pipework
Once they end, are they going to put the cobblestones once more? No, they’re going to put colored cement, the identical color because the outdated floor and impresses a sample on it to resemble a cobblestone floor. All this may take three or 4 weeks.
When the City Corridor beneath the earlier Mayor (the identical celebration as the current one) determined to alter easy tarmac for cobblestones, she mentioned that though they have been costlier than simply renewing a easy layer of tarmac… it could last more.
The actual fact is that the entire of Avenida de Andalucia, from its starting in La Carrera, all the best way down by Plaza de Madrid, as much as the Paseo del Altillo and proper alongside its size was modified to cobblestones.
Inside months of the cobblestones being laid, the passage of buses started to sink trenches into the floor and it has been a protracted collection of roadwork operations to restore it. The resolution to make use of this type of street floor has been something however cheaper. Now we have now concrete, dyed the color of the changed cobblestones and given a sample to resemble them.
Anyway, any person made some huge cash promoting cobblestones to the City Corridor…
