The Tenerife Cabildo has allocated €5.1 million for a series of road improvement projects aimed at enhancing safety and mobility across three major routes of Tenerife.
These works are part of a broader rehabilitation plan covering over 600 kilometres of roads on the island.
The planned works will focus on the TF-28 between La Centinela and La Camella in Arona, the TF-334 connecting Los Realejos, San Juan de la Rambla, and La Guancha, and the TF-215 linking El Sauzal and La Matanza.
The projects include road resurfacing, improvements to signage, slope stabilisation, and upgrades to bus stops.
The president of the Cabildo, Rosa Dávila, highlighted the importance of these works, stating they address longstanding demands from residents and local authorities.
Dámaso Arteaga, the island's Councillor for Roads, described the measures as a "historic effort" to improve road safety and mobility. "This initiative addresses key issues affecting many roads while modernising Tenerife’s network," he said.
Key Projects in Detail
TF-28, La Centinela to La Camella, Arona
The first project, with a budget of €1.6 million and a completion timeframe of five months, includes road resurfacing, the installation of barriers, improved drainage, and updated road markings. Four bus stops in Valle de San Lorenzo, El Hornito, Las Flores, and La Florida will also be upgraded.
TF-334, Los Realejos to La Guancha
On the TF-334, road surface rehabilitation, drainage reconstruction, and a complete overhaul of vertical and horizontal signage will be undertaken. With a budget of €1.3 million, this project is expected to take eight months to complete.
TF-215, El Sauzal to La Matanza
The TF-215 project will enhance pedestrian safety through improving pavements and upgrades to seven bus stops. This work, budgeted at €1.2 million, is expected to take six months.
Additional Projects
In Santiago del Teide, the TF-454 will undergo resurfacing, with €1.6 million allocated for this six-month project. Key improvements include the removal of parking spaces near the Mirador Archipenque viewpoint to enhance visibility and safety at a challenging curve.
Broader Infrastructure Improvements
These roadworks are part of a comprehensive effort to address deteriorated road conditions and improve safety. Recent investments include €30 million in upgrades to the TF-1 motorway in Arico, Fasnia, and Güímar. Additional projects aim to enhance road visibility and repair damaged signage across the island.
Arteaga emphasized the long-term impact of these works, saying, "These improvements will allow us to address critical road segments in need of rehabilitation, ensuring safer conditions for all users."
