Emalsa will renew the sanitation network on Covadonga street and Pintor Felo Monzón avenue between July 13 and 17. The first section will be closed to traffic for three days; in the second, a lane will be occupied.
Drivers in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will need to be patient this week. The municipal water company, Emalsa, begins this Monday, July 13, two renovation projects for the sanitation network that will affect traffic at two key points in the city. The works will continue until Friday 17, although the drinking water service will not be interrupted.
Complete closure on Covadonga street for three days
The first intervention starts on Monday on Covadonga street, between numbers 85 and 87. Workers will renew a section of the sanitation network, which necessitates closing the section between Vergara and Castillejos to traffic. The forecast is that the work will be completed by Wednesday, July 15.
During these three days, residents and regular drivers in the area will need to look for alternative routes. Emalsa has signposted the detours, but mobility in the area will be affected, especially during peak hours. Those passing through the neighbourhood would do well to anticipate their journeys or, directly, avoid the area.
Lane occupation on Pintor Felo Monzón from Wednesday
The second work will begin on Wednesday, July 15, on Pintor Felo Monzón avenue, at number 48, next to the Moeve petrol station. In this case, there will be no complete closure, but the right lane in the direction of traffic will be occupied. The work will continue until Friday, July 17.
This is an avenue with a considerable traffic volume, so the lane occupation may cause occasional delays, especially during peak times. The company recommends driving cautiously and respecting the temporary signage.
No water cuts and enhanced signage
Emalsa has sought to reassure residents: the works are being carried out on the sanitation network, not on the drinking water network, so there will be no interruptions in supply. The company will implement traffic management and signage measures to minimise inconvenience, although in a city like Las Palmas, any work during peak hours is a bit of a hassle.
For the residents of Covadonga and Felo Monzón, the recommendation is clear: plan your journeys and, if possible, opt for public transport or alternative routes. The works are part of the hydraulic infrastructure maintenance programme, a necessary investment that, in the short term, always hurts a little.
