The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (Mitma) has formalized, for an amount of 1,092,981.72 euros (VAT included), the works for the humanization of the N-232A road in Tirgo, between the km 455,000 and 458,000.
The largest performances are concentrated in the urban area of that town, between km 456,350 and 456,860, where two areas are distinguished:
Zone 1 with urban traffic, but coexisting with the traffic contributed by the LR-201; between 456+350 and 456+620 (LR-201). It is proposed to reduce the width of the lanes to 3.25m, in order to achieve both a greater surface area on sidewalks favoring the mobility of pedestrians and to calm traffic. On the sidewalks will be placed corks with medium-sized trees and benches.
Zone 2 with almost exclusively urban traffic; between 456+620 and 456+860. It is proposed to reduce the platform to leave a lane width of 3.10m. In this area the pavement for the circulation of vehicles and the sidewalks will be located at the same level, giving a more urban aspect and prioritizing the mobility of pedestrians over vehicles. The pavement for the circulation of vehicles will consist of polished concrete, diamond and surface bowing to leave the arid seen, in addition to trees, banks and trash cans will be placed to give a more human appearance. After the work has been carried out, the movement of heavy vehicles in this area will be prohibited,
For its part, in the interurban areas, the rehabilitation of the firm will be carried out.
Humanization included in the Recovery Plan
After the construction of the Tirgo Variant, the N-232 road, which ran within the municipality of Tirgo through the urban case, was renamed N-232A and lost its functionality within the State Road Network.
This project aims to humanize this journey by giving priority to actions that improve road safety, calm traffic, promote sustainable mobility and increase the quality of life of neighbors.
The humanization of the crossing implies its cession to the City of Tirgo, passing the City Council to be the new responsible for its conservation and maintenance as the owner of the road.
It should be noted that the cession of this section, which currently belongs to the State Road Network, will not impair the continuity of the State road network or its functionality, since there is a better alternative for long-distance traffic.
The action is included in the PRTR, which will allocate up to 105 million euros from NextGenerationEU funds to humanize urban sections of the State Road Network.
