Promenade opens in Torrevieja Spain

August 12, 2008

Torrevieja´s Paseo Vista Alegre has reopened to the public following a 3.1-million-euro refit.

The town hall reported that the project, which was started last year, has now been virtually completed.

As part of the refurbishment scheme, pergolas have been installed to produce shady areas with two sets of benches sited on opposite sides of the walkway.

New lampposts will provide improved lighting at night, a council spokesman said.

He also revealed that more pedestrian crossings have been installed to allow safer access to the town centre from the promenade.

Green areas and gardens have also been constructed to improve the aesthetics of the area.

“With this project we have improved the quality of the seafront of the town by giving the walkway the necessary infrastructure to allow residents to enjoy it properly,” the spokesman said.

He added that some jobs will be completed at a later date.

These include installing wood on top of the new pergolas to create the shady areas and the renewal of pavements and street lighting in the vicinity of the promenade.

The spokesman also reported that traffic flow along the seafront road is now back to normal after a several months of disruption.
