The GC-500 between El Hornillo-Meloneras and Pasito Blanco will undergo a first phase of improvement with new bike lanes, continuous sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, renewed lighting and two new roundabouts, within an action valued at 2,4 million euros
The Maspalomas Gran Canaria Consortium is launching the first phase of improvements to the GC-500 highway between the roundabout accessing El Hornillo-Meloneras and the Pasito Blanco interchange . This project will transform nearly one kilometer of the road into a more accessible, safer environment, better suited to sustainable mobility . The project, with a base budget of €2.447.670,49 , is now open for tender and includes new bike lanes , continuous sidewalks, rest areas, improved street lighting, and two new roundabouts.
The project involves the redevelopment of approximately one kilometer of the GC-500 road, maintaining the roadway intended for vehicular traffic and incorporating new infrastructure to promote walking and cycling.
Among the main works planned are the construction of two new roundabouts to improve the connection with future urbanized areas, in addition to the construction of continuous sidewalks on both sides of the road and the creation of separate bike lanes.
The project also includes new pedestrian crossings, rest areas next to bus stops, installation of street furniture, bicycle parking, signage, pergolas and a renewed public lighting system.
In addition, the intervention will incorporate technical work aimed at improving the safety and durability of the infrastructure, such as drainage work, resurfacing, channeling, retaining walls and adaptation of spaces to the existing environment.
During the execution of the works, traffic diversions and a perimeter fence will be set up to guarantee the safety of users and minimize the impact on traffic in this section of the GC-500.
The project will be financed by the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council and carried out by the Maspalomas Gran Canaria Consortium as part of the accessibility and mobility improvement plan. The estimated completion time for the work is approximately eight months from the signing of the site survey verification report.
In addition to economic criteria, the tender will consider proposals that reduce execution times and incorporate improvements to the asphalt paving. Interested companies have until next Tuesday, August 4, at 00:59 a.m., to submit their bids through the State Procurement Platform.
