Huesca Provincial Council invests 470,000 euros in road repairs

The Diputación Provincial de Huesca (DPH) is executing emergency works to repair five roads damaged by the Las Peñas de Riglos wildfire that occurred in August. The total investment amounts to 470,000 euros to restore access to Botaya, Alastuey, Osia, Centenero, and Binacua.

Damage was caused by both the fire itself and the heavy machinery used during firefighting efforts. In Botaya, 100,000 euros is being used to install new containment systems, with only new signage remaining after the flames melted previous pictograms. The Alastuey access from the N-240 requires a 230,000 euro investment, which includes replacing safety barriers and constructing a new 30-meter long, 4-meter high stone wall to fix road undermining caused by heavy vehicles.

Urgent works are also being processed for Osia, Binacua, and Centenero. In Osia, a 14,000 euro project will reconstruct drainage, rectify road alignment, and replace metal barriers. In Binacua, 25,600 euros will be used to install containment systems and reinforce signage following the creation of a firebreak near the road. Works in Centenero will focus on repaving an 1,850-meter stretch.
