Torrevieja port area is to have a major revamp.The contract for the work has now been put out to tender.The councillor for infrastructure and transport made the announcement last week.During his visit he spoke of the importance of opening up Torrevieja’s sea aspects.

At the momemnt there is a fish market and a fairground in the area.The intention is to build an underground carpark and a leisure zone.As well as the port revamp it was announced that the Torrevieja N332  section will become a dual carriageway and that the plans are almost complete.The regional government has to send the plans to the central government for final approval.

The ministry for public works has already partly opened the N332 dual carriageway from Pilar de la Horadada to Torrevieja and the section between Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja is aslo almost complete.

Opposition councillors are stating the obvious when they say that the 3 kilometre section at Torrevieja will be a bottleneck until it is done and the traffic jams caused during peak seasons will not be solved until the whole road is dual carriageway.
