An extension of Avenida José Carreras the “winding road,” was dangerous and totally unconstitutional for urban planning, but it had a purpose. It linked the northeast of the city centre, the sports city, VÃctimas del Terrorismo Avenue, the avenues of the Valencian Parliament, and La Mancha with the CV-905, one of the main entrance routes to Torrevieja with a daily traffic flow of 35,000 vehicles.
Since construction of the La Hoya residential complex started more than a year ago, this mode of transportation—which was intended to help people escape traffic bottlenecks in the Habaneras and Carrefour shopping areas—has been closed to the public. In addition, one of the Valencian Community’s primary markets is held in the same location on Fridays.
With two lanes in each direction, the road is one of the biggest in the entire complex, and the Torrevieja City Council has now announced that it will be ready for traffic by Easter 2025.
Completed
Torrevieja Mayor Eduardo Dolón (PP) declared that the new Avenida José Carreras would be by Easter. The avenue has apparently been completed for several months. Videos of its completed appearance, complete with all necessary amenities and moving cars, have already been made public. It is now functioning at a high capacity for traffic. It’s not like the old road.
It contains two additional roundabouts and is more than a kilometre long. Additionally, the developer has been adamant about delivering it to the City Council for commissioning. He clarified, however, that months of verification work had been carried out by municipal technologists to include all of the standards outlined in the development plan, which must also include previously unincorporated speed-reduction and signage measures.
“This is a partial approval to resolve the opening of traffic during this Easter period, when the city expects record occupancy,” the mayor, who is also the Councillor for Urban Planning, said. It is not, however, conclusive. Additionally, before a bridge can be constructed across the N-332 to accommodate the capacity of these additional roads, it must wait for the development of new phases—1.8 million square meters and up to 7,400 homes—which have a four-year deadline to finish the basic infrastructure.
Only one lane is permitted in each direction of traffic under the existing configuration. By Easter, a new roundabout on the CV-905 will also be completed, albeit it won’t yet service the residential neighbourhood.
