The city already has everything ready for the closure of the avenue, scheduled for this Monday to start the burial project
The City Council enables a space on the municipal website with information about the works on Beniardá Avenue
The main access roads to the city will be Comunidad Europea Avenue in Levante and Juan Pablo II in Poniente.
The City Council has set up a space on the municipal website relating to the burying works on Beniardá Avenue, especially focused on informing about all issues related to the reorganization of traffic and which will be updated periodically. This new web space can be consulted since yesterday at the link: https://benidorm.org/es/ayuntamiento/concejalias/movilidad-y-trafico/informacion-obras-soterramiento-avenida-beniarda. In this space are available the plans with the entrances and exits of Benidorm, the location of the park-and-ride car parks, the hourly information of the free bus service, or the reorganization of traffic and spaces in the zone of the work.
The Councilor for Mobility, José Ramón González de Zárate, has indicated that "the city is prepared for the closure of the upper section of the avenue, planned by Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) for this Monday, September 12", since Signposting of the main entrances has already been carried out and the preliminary work to adapt the alternative itineraries is being finalized.
The mayor has highlighted "the dissemination work that has been done in recent weeks so that citizens have all the information about the work in advance" and thus favor that during the 10 months that the upper section of Beniardá Avenue will be cut off, the mobility is as smooth as possible.
After asking citizens for "patience" in the face of these burial works, De Zárate recalled that "Comunidad Europea Avenue and Juan Pablo II are configured as the two main access routes" to Levante and Poniente respectively. In both areas, he has stressed, residents, residents of other towns and tourists have more than 7,000 park-and-ride parking spaces; and even two of these car parks, those on Cuba street and the one located next to the Fire Station, will have a free bus service to get to the centre, La Cala or El Rincón. These buses will have a frequency of between 15 and 20 minutes.
In addition to the two main entrances, residents and emergency vehicles will have a third itinerary: El Camí del Llandero, which is a one-way entrance and from which you can get to Colonia Madrid through the streets Italia, Virgen del Rocío, Aigüera and Orxeta. Regarding this itinerary, the councillor has stressed that it will be affected by the level crossing, since FGV plans to maintain the TRAM service.
The person in charge of Mobility also recalled that action has been taken at the European Community roundabout located next to the Salt de l'Aigua to make traffic more fluid at this point, generating an additional lane.
Finally, De Zárate has reported that "there will be a police reinforcement of 6 police officers in the morning and afternoon shifts to facilitate traffic at the entrances and exits of the city."
