The Ingenio Town Hall will execute a resurfacing project on 22 streets across 11 neighbourhoods with a budget of 650,000 euros. The works include a new water supply network, sanitation, and signage.
The Ingenio Town Hall has announced an ambitious resurfacing plan that will affect 22 streets and public spaces distributed across 11 neighbourhoods in the municipality. The investment, amounting to 650,000 euros, will be fully funded by municipal funds and aims to improve road safety and modernise urban infrastructure.
The works will not be limited to resurfacing. The project includes the renewal of the drinking water supply network with PVC-O pipes, the replacement of a section of the sanitation system, new horizontal and vertical signage, and the installation of metal safety barriers in areas with elevation changes. According to municipal sources, the deterioration of the roads due to the passage of time and continuous use has made this intervention necessary.
Affected streets and neighbourhoods
The work will be spread across various hubs in the municipality. In Los Molinillos, work will be carried out on Garoé, Tenesoya Vidina, Rutindana, Santa Teresa, and Plazoleta San Juan streets. In El Cuarto, Poeta Juan Nuez street will be resurfaced, while in El Cristo, the works will reach Montaña Clara street and in El Lirón, Acorayta street.
In the El Mondragón neighbourhood, the surface of Cánovas del Castillo street will be renewed, and in La Montañeta, the focus will be on Doctor Barnard street. Meanwhile, in Cuesta Caballero, work will be done on Coros y Danzas and Reina Isabel II streets.
The El Toril neighbourhood will also benefit, with works on Cándida Ruano Urquía, Agustín Ramírez Díaz, Lope de Vega, and Juan Martel Alvarado streets. In Ejido-Carrizal, República Argentina, Magallanes, José Morales Rodríguez, and Doctor Pérez Navarro streets will be renewed. Additionally, the project includes actions on Castelar street in La Capellanía, and Bentohey street in Lomo Cardón.
Improvements in water and sanitation networks
In addition to resurfacing, the initiative includes the installation of a new main drinking water supply network using PVC-O pipes in the section between Camino Lomo Ortega and Bentohey street. A section of the sanitation network on Reina Isabel II street will also be renewed, where stagnation problems have been detected. These actions aim to ensure efficient supply and prevent future breakdowns.
Road safety will be reinforced with the placement of 100 linear metres of metal barriers (biondas) on Camino del Oronado, a road with elevation changes that posed a risk to drivers. Furthermore, horizontal and vertical signage will be renewed on all roads subject to intervention, which will improve traffic flow and reduce accidents.
Impact on residents
For residents, these works will represent a significant improvement in quality of life. Streets that previously had potholes and cracks will be smooth, and the new signage will facilitate mobility. However, during the works, there will be traffic disruptions and diversions, which the Town Hall will communicate in advance to minimise inconvenience. The works are expected to begin in the coming weeks and have an estimated duration of several months, depending on weather conditions.
In short, Ingenio is getting to work to make its streets as good as gold, although residents will need to be patient while the machines do their job. After all, the result will be worth the wait: safer and more beautiful streets for everyone.
