THE Ministry of DevelopmentArticulation of territory and housing of the Junta de Andalucía announced this Thursday, in a press release, that bid for 34.5 million the works of first phase of the North Round from Cordoba. It thus respects the latest timetable proposed by the Council for the activation of these eternally awaited and essential road infrastructures for the closure of the capital’s ring road, and avoids a further delay.
The term of execution the estimate of this work is 36 months. Companies interested in managing this infrastructure have up to January 24 to present your offers via the electronic portal of the regional administration (Sirec).
The Council recalls that the first section will take place between García Moreno Academic roundabouts And Saint Beatricegenerating a Arruzafilla Avenue renovated completely. The Minister of Development, Rocío Díaz, said that with the start of this hiring process, she realizes the “commitment of the government of Juanma Moreno with the improved mobility and the quality of life of the inhabitants of Córdoba. “After years of promises, dating back to 2007, we saved the Cycle du Nord with a renewed project and significant investment,” he said.
The head of this department also focused on the aspect that could end up generating controversies: the PSOE announced this summer that this first section would allow mobilizations against it and the North West District Council (directly affected by this route) reported that rejects him and that the inhabitants requested that he be buried.
Díaz emphasized that the design of the first phase of the Northern Cycle “took into account THE neighborhood contributionswhich were integrated into the project for an amount of one million. Most actions in this direction, continued the advisor, aim to “ humanize the new roadwith traffic calming measures. “Thus, the number of pedestrian crossings has been increased, a plant barrier has been planned, with trees separating the service road from the road,” he continued.
He indicated that “also the median was removed from the project of concrete separation of the two directions which had been planned by a more urban element, similar to the separation of roads from other roads in the city.
Promotion also stressed that it had been taken into account that the main traffic of the renovated avenue of Arruzafilla is “far away” of the buildings to cause the least inconvenience. Thus, the main trunk of the North Ring “will be separated by 21 meters from homes, compared to three and a half meters currently”. This distance, they continue from this department, will be possible thanks to the future service road and a pedestrian zone which will be built.
This first phase, continued to explain this autonomous Department, will have a length 722 meters. The project includes complementary works such as remodeling intersections. THE María de Maeztu roundabout (Hipercor) will be modified to generate a double levelwhich will speed up road traffic, which currently presents some congestion during rush hours. To do this, the elevation of the Poniente roundabout will be lowered to pass under said roundabout. Fomento specifies that “a circular roundabout was designed to provide the largest possible space for the connection of the two roads”.
A project that finds its roots in 2007
This action, continues the ministry, aims to “ease not only the mobility vehicles, but also to improve circulation in the territory, both pedestrians like cyclists.
Finally, he will reshape the intersection of the Brilliant Avenue with that of Arruzafilla and the Street of the sculptor Fernández Márquez. A development which will involve, without changing the design of the current intersection, an improvement in the road surface and new signage. In other words, the configuration of the divided elliptical roundabout will be retained. In this way, Brillante Avenue will have two lanes in each direction, with the outermost ones reserved for separate turning movements towards the streets of Escultor Fernández Márquez Street and Arruzafilla Avenue.
Fomento recalled that the North Round It is an infrastructure that “dates back more than 17 yearswhen the previous socialist governments of the Junta de Andalucía presented the first studies and even presented a project with a budget of more than 200 million euros that was economically unfeasible to carry out.
At the ministry, this operational model has been refreshed: the PSOE Council he wanted to attack her thanks to the formula of public-private collaboration and even gave a completion deadline, 2014which “was breached and the project was subsequently not resumed.” In 2019, this Autonomous Department continues, with the arrival of the Government of Juanma Moreno, this road infrastructure resumed with the drafting of a new feasibility study, with a budget and a design more adapted to the mobility needs of the city.
