Torrevieja approves construction of four buffer parking lots with nearly 4,000 spaces
With this project, the Torrevieja City Council is strengthening its strategy to manage traffic and improve the quality of urban space
The Torrevieja City Council has approved the basic and detailed design for the construction of four large buffer parking lots at various points in the municipality. This strategic action will create a total of as many as 3937 new parking spaces.
The total investment amounts to 3,618,541 euros (including VAT). The project is a key element of the city's strategy to improve mobility, facilitate parking and reduce traffic congestion, especially in the busiest areas and in the city center.
The estimated completion time for the work, which includes alignment, signage and comprehensive landscaping, is five months. Construction work will be carried out simultaneously on all four city lots.
Four parking zones: project details
The project envisages the creation of four large parking zones, which will be located at strategic points in Torrevieja. A total of 3882 traditional parking spaces will be created, as well as 55 spaces adapted for people with reduced mobility.
The distribution of parking lots and investment costs are as follows:
Avenida de la Estación
- 255 standard parking spaces
- 12 seats for people with disabilities
- Investment: 614,852.30 euros
Avenida Ramón del Valle Inclán - Torreta
- 213 standard parking spaces
- 8 seats for people with disabilities
- Investment: 549,569.50 euros
Calle Juan Valera - CV-905
- 758 standard parking spaces
- 20 seats for people with disabilities
- Investment: €1,213,641.27
Avenida Delfina Viudes - Parque Antonio Soria
- 2711 standard parking spaces
- 15 seats for people with disabilities
- Investment: €1,240,478.93
Comprehensive adaptation and improvement of accessibility
The construction work will involve much more than just designating the sites. Activities include thorough cleaning, leveling and compacting of the area, as well as new paving for access roads and parking zones.
To ensure maximum functionality and safety, the design takes into account:
- Installation of rainwater drainage systems.
- Implementation of horizontal and vertical signage.
- Modern lighting using towers with LED technology.
- Adapted, fully accessible pedestrian access.
- Comprehensive electrical installation and implementation of safety features.
The main goal is to create spaces that are not only functional and fully accessible, but also safe, which will significantly improve the comfort of both permanent residents and tourists.
Strategic action for sustainable mobility
With this initiative, Torrevieja authorities are taking a decisive step toward better management of urban space. The new parking zones will take on much of the surface traffic, relieving the most traffic-saturated streets.
The establishment of such a large network of buffer parking lots will promote more efficient and environmentally friendly mobility. It is also a necessary response to the steady growth of the population and tourists, facilitating smooth and seamless access to the city.
