Roadworks meet

The roadworks in calle Carmen have now reached the building works in Plaza Cavana. The first stretch, near Puerta del Mar, is being paved with small (10x10x10cm (ish)) blocks, a slow process. The businesses along this stretch, except for the bank, are all still closed. In the square behind the Balcon de Europa the work appears to be moving along …

Calle El Barrio closed to traffic

Calle El Barrio is closed to traffic today, the latest closure due to the building works at the Balcon de Europa and in Plaza Cavana. Entering the area from Calle Diputación, exit is now only possible via calle Granada.

Road reopens

The Department of Public Works and Transport of the Junta de Andalucía has today opened the first 14 kilometres of the A-357 between Campillos and the junction with the A-367 in the direction of Ronda.

Work on the other side of calle Jaén now started

Work has started on the other side of calle Jaén, work now being carried out on both sides of the street. The whole project, which includes wide pavements, is due to be completed before Christmas!

Calle Jaén this morning…

Work is progressing calle Jaén but difficult to say whether, as predicted, it will be finished by Christmas. If they are only doing one side of the road, then maybe.

Still digging away…

Work on the Balcón de Europa trundles on. Feel sorry for the bars losing half their terraces.
