The rain and snow storms have caused damages in 58 roads, valued at about 4.2 million euros
The Minister of Development and Infrastructures, Pedro Rivera, today reported that the regional government will carry out emergency works on 11 highways in the regional network as a result of damages caused by rain and snow storms in December and January .
The budget for these actions exceeds 1.5 million euros.
Councilor Pedro Rivera said today that the regional government has acted in a "fast, diligent" manner in both temporary, in which "extraordinary repair and conservation work was carried out quickly to be able to put in service the affected roads and recover the normality soon as possible".
The staff of the Community Conservation Service "have carried out various inspections of the regional roads to determine and quantify the damage, take the most appropriate action and plan the execution of the works", which will begin in the coming weeks.
The head of the Department of Development stressed that emergency works "are a priority for the regional government because they require a more immediate action for having suffered greater damage" and, therefore, "we will implement them as quickly as possible."
Rivera said that these emergency actions "were not within the conservation forecasts and, therefore, had no allocated budgets", hence the regional government has had to allocate the necessary budget to meet these unforeseen needs.
There will be an urgent intervention in a total of 11 roads affecting 13 municipalities: Abarán, Aguilas, Alhama de Murcia, Cartagena, Cieza, Lorca, Mula, Murcia, Pliego, Puerto Lumbreras, Torre Pacheco, Totana and Ulea.
