The Avenida de la Libertad will be remodeled and will be after the works with new landscaped spaces and several playgrounds for children and biosaludables, which will change its current image and adapt it to its current reality.
This morning, the Mayor of Jumilla, Juana Guardiola, and the Councilor for Works and Urban Planning, Francisco González, presented the project to be carried out.
The section on which is going to perform the greatest performance runs between the court building and the Plaza del Camionero Juan Soriano.
The area that is currently unpaved will be reformed, with a compact earth base, where children's games and biosaludable devices will be placed "so that all age ranges of the population are covered for use and enjoyment in an area of ​​Jumilla very populated and that, in addition, is one of the main arteries of the city that at the moment is somewhat deteriorated ", has explained the mayoress.
The median of the avenue will be equipped with artificial turf in full, from Avenida de la Asunción to Plaza del Camionero, as well as the median of Sebastián Abarca, a pedestrian street linking Libertad with Reyes Católicos.
Artificial turf will also be installed in the area of ​​biosaludables games, while the playgrounds for children will have elastic tile flooring against falls and a multicolored protection fence.
Likewise, different traditional enamel-based games will be painted on the pavement, two drinking water sources and two resting areas will be installed.
In addition, the sidewalk will be extended, the interior corridor will be extended and container grouping areas will be created.
The urban furniture will also be renewed with the placement of bins, including children, as well as benches and chairs.
The contractor, responsible for carrying out the works will be Natural Engineering, Water and Environment SL for an amount of 263,995 euros.
Almost 100,000 euros invested in previous phases
Avenida de las Libertad has already been subject to improvements in the current legislature.
In 2016, all the luminaires were replaced by other LEDs, a bicycle lane was built that crossed it completely, accessibility was improved with the elimination of several architectural barriers and new street furniture was placed with new chairs and colored benches.
All this has meant an investment of just over 97,000 euros.
On the other hand, the remodeling of the Plaza del Camionero Juan Soriano, which is in the process of being awarded, is expected to complete the modernization and transformation of this area of ​​the city.
