Por Redaccion The City Council continues for a third week with the improvement of asphalt in the streets of the neighborhoods
30 Mar. 2025
Following the campaign to remove potholes and uneven pavement in the urban center and neighborhoods, a third week begins tomorrow, Monday 31, where works will continue, often as a result of requests from residents.
Similar to previous weeks, these are all small interventions agreed upon with the Local Police, which do not significantly impact traffic flow. The works will be carried out by the CGS company as part of the maintenance contract.
Starting tomorrow, Monday, and possibly also on Tuesday, deep work will be carried out on Valdés Salas Street, specifically in the cul-de-sac formed by numbers 1, 3, and 5 in La Magdalena neighborhood:
– Monday 31, asphalt on cul-de-sac Valdés Salas No. 3 and preparation of cul-de-sac Valdés Salas No. 5.
– Tuesday 1, asphalt on cul-de-sac Valdés Salas No. 5.
The works in this area began last Friday with machines milling the pavement to subsequently apply asphalt, leaving this corner in perfect condition and free of the potholes that affected the street.
With this upcoming intervention in La Magdalena, there have been nearly twenty asphalt works carried out in both the urban center and neighborhoods.
Additionally, the Mevals company, responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks and pavements, will also work on Plaza Alfonso VI, repairing loose cobblestones, replacing broken limestone slabs, and renewing the fountain drains.
It is worth mentioning that the maintenance contract for the streets and squares of the municipality is divided into three lots:
– Lot 1: Sidewalk maintenance
– Lot 2: Road maintenance, including road resurfacing and spot repairs of potholes and improvements
– Lot 3: Horizontal and vertical signage, responding to specific demands and completing all signage in coordination with the road maintenance works of Lot 2.
The total annual amount for the three lots over two years is €968,000. The ongoing works are part of Lot 2, awarded to the CGS company. The maintenance contract started on 2/11/2023 and is initially scheduled to end on 1/11/2025, with the possibility of two 12-month extensions.
The criteria for determining the priority and order of works are technical, evaluating the severity of incidents, their age, and the most suitable way to solve them according to the available budget, as assessed by the technical services of the City Council.
In addition to the inspections carried out by personnel to identify needs, citizens use various channels to report issues, all of which are investigated and addressed to the best of our ability. These channels include reports through the CUIDA AVILÉS app, written submissions to maintenance or the City Council, requests from the police for inspection and control purposes, complaints, accidents, or traffic regulation needs, emails received in the maintenance department mailboxes, requests from neighborhood associations, among others.
