The Secretary of State for Transport and Sustainable Mobility, José Antonio Santano, has assured that the new variant of the N-432 road as it passes through Zafra will help clear the traffic in the urban center that currently supports 13,000 vehicles a day of which 1,200 are heavy.
Santano affirmed, during his visit to the works of the aforementioned variant, that this will mean an increase in road safety and a considerable environmental improvement by reducing noise and pollution, which will result in an improvement in the quality of life of the neighbors of the area and will capture long- and medium-distance traffic by shortening transit times with respect to the crossing.
The Secretary of State has been able to verify the quality of execution of the works that are progressing at a good pace with a degree of execution of 60% and a budget of 30 million euros and that generate a great consensus between the different actors involved, from the technicians to the citizens for the benefits they contribute to the municipality.
The variant
The variant will run through the municipal terms of Zafra, Los Santos de Maimona and Puebla de Sancho Pérez, and will have a length of more than 8 kilometers.
Three links have been projected:
- The link of North Zafra, which will connect the variant with the current N-432 to give access to Zafra from the north.
- The link to the EX-101 road, through which you will be able to access the town of Los Santos de Maimona and Zafra by the Northeast.
- The South Zafra link, which will connect the variant with the current N-432 south of Zafra.
