Elche looks for ways to ease traffic at the l’Aljub roundabout

l’Aljub roundabout

In order to improve mobility capacity and lessen traffic jams on specific days and times when traffic density is higher, Elche Council, through the public spaces department, has put out a call for bids for a traffic study to alleviate congestion at the L’Aljub roundabout. Claudio Guilabert, the local councillor, has clarified that they will seek to address the traffic bottlenecks that arise there and have put forward three potential solutions. As a result, a 24,200 euro procurement process has been started for a traffic study that includes specific measures to address this issue.

One of these ideas is to build a new access road to the northern part of l’Aljub and install traffic lights at the roundabout. Additionally, as all of the traffic is currently concentrated in two places, he mentioned the installation of new access points to l’Aljub. Similarly, it is suggested that a third access be built at the El Corte Inglés Shopping Centre roundabout, providing direct access to the El Sauce Shopping Centre and Crevillente Road.

Guilabert has noted that, in light of the proposals made, the interested businesses will need to provide additional information or suggest fresh ideas that the City Council’s engineering staff will review.

In order to obtain a final project within two to three months with which to implement measures that would address the traffic issues throughout the entire region, companies are now given a 20-day window to submit their bids. He noted that the execution budget will be approximately 200,000 euros in this regard.

Zombie Survival comes to Orihuela

Zombies Orihuela

The ‘Survival zombie’ challenge, an interactive event set in several streets, will be held for the first time in Orihuela. Participants will be immersed in a post-apocalyptic narrative that is full of intrigue, action, and difficulties. “Orihuela will become, for one night, the scene of a survival story,” remarks Youth Councillor Anabel García. This event is scheduled for Saturday March 22nd and has been a huge success in a number of Spanish cities. Participants will receive preliminary instructions and the required materials to start the game at the Gabriel Miró roundabout at 10 p.m. As the game progresses, players will have to find the remaining sites by completing tasks and tests at various spots throughout the city. Fifty performers will work together to create the story and portray characters that will engage with the gamers along the way. The participants will feel as though they are in a horror film thanks to these actors’ superb character development.

With the help of the City Council, admission is 16.50 euros, with a 50% discount for those who are registered in Orihuela. Participants must show identification at the La Lonja auditorium in order to check in and obtain the required materials. You can register on the survivalzombie.es website right now.

Young folks 14 years of age and up are the target audience. It is advised that adults accompany minors to the event. It’s also crucial to remember that in order to register on their own, people must be of legal age. This event is being arranged for the first time, and the councillor encourages young people to take part in order “to experience the city in a different way and immerse themselves in an adventure of fun and strategy.”
