The contract for the redevelopment of Los Locos Beach has been awarded to the company PAVASAL, for an amount of 8,592,352 euros

The Local Governing Board of the Torrevieja City Council awarded the contract for the redevelopment of Los Locos beach to the company PAVASAL this morning. The winning bid was 14.65% lower than the tender price, for a total of €8,592,352, with an 18-month execution period. The works will provide the promenade with sufficient width to facilitate pedestrian traffic and interaction, improve accessibility to the beach, and create a more direct, pleasant, and suitable connection between the city and the beach, better suited to the needs of the 21st century.

The project has been drafted by the Valencian architect Juan Ignacio Fuster Marcos, in whose drafting he has been adapting the project to the needs and all the sector reports of both the Ministry of Environment, Infrastructure and Territory, dependent on the Valencian Government, and the Provincial Coastal Service, dependent on the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.

The redevelopment of Los Locos beach will create more green spaces, pedestrian areas, trees, street furniture including children's play areas and outdoor fitness areas. The project involves over 1,100 meters of coastal pedestrianization and covers a total area of 21,044.75 square meters.

EXECUTION OF THE WORKS AND PHASES

The Councillor for Urban Services, Sandra Sánchez, has reported that the execution of the works will be organized in 4 defined operational phases, which contemplates the progressive use of each area once completed, in accordance with what is planned in the tender specifications and guaranteeing access to the beach from different areas of the work.

The area covered by the first phase of implementation will be that between the confluence of La Sal street with La Purísima Avenue up to Habaneras Avenue, this section being the one that will produce the least impact next summer.

Regarding the impacts on the urban environment, interferences related to road and pedestrian traffic, public transport, access to homes and garages, commercial activity and existing services will be addressed individually, adapting the management of the impacts to the specific circumstances of the tourist environment.
