April 28, 2024. The Government of Spain will improve road safety, sustainability, energy efficiency and humanize the national highway N-122 as it passes through El Burgo de Osma, which includes its crossing. The Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility has drafted the project that has a budget of approximately 8,420,693 euros.

The section in which the General Direction of Roads of the State will act is between the kilometer points 211,610 and 218,000 of the N-122, including the crossing that is between the kilometer points 212,600 and 215,500.

Once the works are completed, the section will be ceded to the City Council of El Burgo de Osma as established by the framework for the conclusion of delivery agreements to the city councils of urban roads of the state network.

THREE STAGES

The City Council of El Burgo de Osma had requested this action last year. The project includes the action in these 6.39 kilometers that have been divided into several subsections.

Section 1 is located between kilometer point 211,610 (from the roundabout that connects the A-11 at its exit 54 with the CL-116 and the N-122) to kilometer point 212,600 (east entrance of the municipality, ITV of El Burgo de Osma).

Section 2 is located between the kilometric point 212,600 (east entrance of the municipality, ITV of El Burgo de Osma) until 215,500 (west entrance of the municipality, Fresno carpentry and Carro).

And section 3 goes from kilometric point 215,500 (west entrance of the municipality, carpentry Fresno and Carro) to kilometric point 218,000 (from the roundabout that connects the A-11 at its exit 61 with the SO-P-4027 and the N-122).

Sections 1 and 3 correspond to the peri-urban area and section 2 is the El Burgo de Osma Crossing itself. The 1 has 0.99 kilometers. The length of section 2 is 2.90 kilometers. And the 3 consists of 2.50 kilometers.

It is basically a unique type of road section with two lanes, one for each sense of circulation. There is also a type section of two lanes in a single direction on the two roundabouts of the N-122, before and after the urban core, which allow entry and exit to the A-11 bypass motorway.

ACTIONS PLANNED IN THE PROJECT

The main actions foreseen in this project are the implementation of an independent bike lane with a double direction of circulation, with a total width of 2.50 meters. The execution of a shared road of vehicles and bicycles, of double direction of circulation, with a total width of 6.40 meters. Also, the superficial rehabilitation of the firm and the sanitation of blandones in localized areas

Likewise, a gazebo will be executed at the intersection of N-122 with Avenida de la Constitución and a second gazebo at the intersection of N-122 with Los Linares Street. A retaining wall will also be built between the driveway and the sidewalk.

The lower pedestrian crossing at the intersection with Juan Yagüe Street will also be demolished. The stone bridge over the Ucero River will be rehabilitated and the pedestrian walkway over this river will be conditioned.

The project includes the expansion and consolidation of the pavements along the route of the crossing and the complete repair of the pavements, after demolition of the existing pavement. In addition, drip irrigation will be installed in the landscaped areas.

The berms will be adapted and a covered ditch will be executed in the periurban sections. The entire road will be completely repainted and the metal surface of the handrails will be treated by applying a protective paint system.

Finally, pedestrian walkways will be adapted by means of lighting, the containment system, the existing lighting and the pipelines affected by the works and the arches or registration wells damaged or in poor condition, as well as the affected services, will be replaced.

This section of the N-122 on which we are going to act supports an average daily traffic intensity that exceeds one thousand vehicles per day of which 70% are heavy vehicles.
