The Councilor for Infrastructure and Works of the City of Cieza highlights that the work is included within the Strategy for Sustainable and Integrated Urban Development (EDUSI) of the European Structural and Investment Funds.This Monday, the Councilor for Infrastructures and Works of the City Council of Cieza, Francisco Saorín, has been able to verify the advanced state in which the covering works of the El Realejo promenade are in their third phase, the forging of the platform being practically finished .Saorín recalled that, in 2003, two projects were drawn up for two phases: the first of them covered the section of the boulevard between Juan XXIII avenue and José Marín Camacho street, while the second contemplated the actions from the street José Marín Camacho to the Camino de Murcia.
Both were updated in 2007, the first of which was executed in 2009.
Later, in 2015, a new update of the second project was carried out, which was executed in 2017.
While the third phase is being executed nowadays.The mayor has stressed that the works to cover the current canal have been claimed on numerous occasions by the hundreds of neighbors adjacent to the boulevard, hence the City Council's interest in executing them, considering them eminently social and in the public interest.
"With them, the aim is to solve the problems of difficulty in cleaning, decorum and unsanitary conditions of the current canal, as well as visual impact, managing to integrate this space as a green recreational area for the recreation of children and adults", explains Saorín.The project of the third phase, in addition to the execution of the structure that allows such coverage, contemplates the conditioning of the resulting platforms and the adjacent streets for their urban use as a place for recreation and walk, both for adults and children, favoring integration of this surface in the urban context in which it is located and the permeability of pedestrian flows between the different streets that are now divided by the existing channeling of the Rambla de El Realejo.The work, which was put out to tender for an amount of 477,699.27 euros, was awarded by the Cieza City Council contracting table to Excavations 'El Mona', the company that is executing it, for a final amount of 358,275.00 euros and an execution period of six months.The action is financed by the Strategy for Sustainable and Integrated Urban Development (EDUSI) of the European Structural and Investment Funds.Saorín concluded by highlighting the importance of this work for the neighborhood of San José Obrero, "which will no longer be divided by the riverbed of the promenade and will get a new space for recreation and walks."
