The new roundabout in Viña del Mar, in Cartagena, will improve road safety for 20,000 people and accesses to San José Obrero and La Vaguada (03/08/2020)

| The Community awards the works for this infrastructure, which will regulate traffic and improve commuting times of 12,000 vehicles a day | The works will involve an investment of 328,000 euros and will begin after the summer The Autonomous Community has awarded the construction works for a new roundabout at the intersection of the regional highway RM-332 (Cartagena-Mazarrón) with Calle Viña del Mar, in Cartagena, for a budget of more than 328,000 euros. Its purpose is to increase road safety for 20,000 people residing in this area and improve access to the neighborhoods of San José Obrero and La Vaguada and also to nearby urbanizations, such as that of Alcalde de Cartagena. "The roundabout will become a structuring infrastructure for the city of Cartagena that will facilitate mobility and improve the security conditions of 12,000 vehicles a day, of which 450 are trucks and heavy vehicles," said the Minister for Development and Infrastructure, José Ramón Díez de Revenga, after recently visiting the intersection with the Deputy Mayor of Cartagena, Noelia Arroyo, and the neighborhood representatives of La Loma de Canteras, Los Popos, La Vaguada and San José Obrero. The counselor stressed that "the work is carried out in response to the needs expressed by the residents, users and businessmen of the area," adding that "its execution is expected to begin after the summer." The new roundabout will involve the complete remodeling and transformation of the intersection, which currently has a T-shape, and will allow drivers to avoid making reckless maneuvers and inappropriate turns to access the population centers, which increases the danger and accident rates in this via, while traffic collapses. The speeding of vehicles passing through this intersection will also be ended, since it is on a straight line, which produces a high accident rate. Plays The new infrastructure, which will have an exterior diameter of 46 meters, two lanes, and 30 meters of internal diameter, will allow the road to be provided with characteristics and dimensions suitable for improving mobility and fluidity in vehicle traffic on it. The roundabout will have three entrance and four exit branches, one of which will be built new to connect with Viña del Mar street, and drainage ditches to guarantee the correct evacuation of surface water. The lighting will also be improved with highly energy efficient luminaires and the affected services, signaling and beacons will be replaced.
