Spanish regional authorities advance local infrastructure projects

In Galicia, the Xunta has inaugurated a new 54-meter pedestrian walkway in Cudeiro, Ourense. The infrastructure, costing over 435,000 euros, connects existing paths along the OU-150 road by crossing the Val dos Gozos stream. The project addresses a long-standing local demand to provide safe passage for pedestrians, particularly the elderly, by avoiding the narrow historic bridge previously shared with vehicular traffic.

In Andalusia, the Puente Genil City Council has received the construction project for a new roundabout at the entrance to the Cañada de la Plata residential area. Designed to improve road safety on the A-318 highway, the project aims to reduce vehicle speeds and organize traffic more efficiently. Following a favorable report from the Junta de Andalucía, the council will now seek budget modifications to fund the works, which are expected to be put out to tender between October and November with a budget exceeding 112,000 euros.
