The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and the Urban Agenda (Mitma) has started work to improve the roadway of the A-2 as it passes through Cervera. This is one of the sections most claimed by users and residents of the region and that in recent years has been more worn by the high passage of vehicles.
The first phase of the works will last three weeks and includes a stretch of three kilometers in the Barcelona direction. In addition, the effects on traffic will be minimized on weekends between one in the afternoon on Friday and until seven in the morning on Monday.
The sub-delegate of the government in Lleida, José Crespín, has explained that there will be a “total renewal of the road” that will allow drivers to gain in “road safety and comfort”. In addition, Crespín celebrates that the “most claimed” projects by the municipalities of Segarra have begun and because it is the “first phase of reform” of the year in the “main road axis in volume of traffic” of the demarcation.
The project as a whole will improve the soil of about nine kilometers between the points of kilometers 514 and 522. The works will be carried out in three years and provide for the structural rehabilitation of the two carriageways of the highway in this section and of the right lanes in each one of the directions of circulation, since they are the ones that are worn out by the high traffic of heavy vehicles.
On the other hand, the project does not include the section between Cervera and La Panadella, one of the most damaged and which from the region has also been demanding that it be fixed for years. In this sense, Crespín has indicated that “waiting” for the final approval of the project that affects this section that connects the demarcation of Barcelona with Ponent.
The sub-delegate of the Spanish government in Lleida has highlighted that by the end of the legislature the Spanish government will have renovated almost 40% of the A-2 motorway as it passes through the West, works that will have involved a “record investment of 30 million euros”, as he explained”.
The project to reform the highway to the Cervera ring road is added to the works to improve the soil, which in recent years have been carried out on the Lleida bypass and between Torrefarrera and Los Alamús. In addition, Crespín has indicated that in the coming weeks work will begin to improve the road between Torrefarrera and the border with Aragon, a project that will operate along 17 kilometers and has a budget of 12 million euros.
