After the meeting held today in Murcia with the Minister of Development, Jose Lopez explained that he expects the port city can count on the high speed in 2017, with the limitations offered by the layout, but with the knowledge that will be beneficial for the region

Neither underground nor Mandarache, the mayor, Jose Lopez, bet by the arrival of the AVE in 2017 to the current station Avenida de America, regardless of when the high speed reaches Murcia city, and so he said after the meeting that It has remained this morning in Murcia with the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructures, Francisco Barnabas, which was also attended by the Deputy Mayor, Ana Belen Castejon.

A meeting that was satisfactory to both parties, which have agreed on their desire for the AVE arrives as soon as possible to the port city.

As López has reiterated on several occasions, l a more logical and efficient way is to reach Cartagena, Beltrí Station, building and immediately rushing the bypass of the Reguerón, less than 2 km track which will allow the arrival without affecting the demand for burial of citizens and the Municipal Council of the city of Murcia, with the addition that this infrastructure will reach the main tourist and industrial hub of the region.

The mayor also added that the underground disposal of high speed and construction of a new station in Mandarache, would mean savings for the city of 87 million and a half euros, besides being the only realistic option that does not include projects Pharaonic, with the known consequences of these for the municipality.

Besides AVE, in the meeting with the Minister of Public Works they have tried other issues such as the project of the dock Gorguel, the ZAL of Los Camachos, the construction of a third rail between Murcia and Albacete for the transport of goods from Cartagena to Madrid or resumption of the proposed cycle path between Cartagena and La Union.

As regards the dock Gorguel Barnabas informed the mayor that the project still requires the approval of the Ministry and the environmental impact, although it may be present in Brussels one environmental roadmap for approval for streamline processing.

For the implementation of the Area of Logistics Activity Cartagena, that local government is a priority, independent of the new container terminal, notwithstanding that is complementary to it, José López bets for contacting employers, since the ministry demands of private capital for its implementation.

Finally, the first mayor of Cartagena has shown its commitment to work to recover the proposed bike path that connects Cartagena with the neighboring municipality of La Union, a performance that did not come true with the previous government team.
