Badajoz begins major construction on Circunvalación underground parking

Construction has entered a highly visible phase for the new underground parking project at Circunvalación near Puerta de Palmas in Badajoz. The works involve heavy machinery, including excavators and trucks, as well as the demolition of sidewalks and roadways, and the relocation of trees.

Local residents and business owners have expressed mixed reactions and concerns. Some neighbors question whether a paid parking facility will effectively solve local parking issues, while others worry about the noise and disruption caused by the long-term construction. There is also apprehension that archaeological findings during excavation could delay the project.

While some merchants fear the economic impact of months of construction, others remain optimistic that the new parking spaces will increase customer traffic to the city center.
