The municipal group of the Popular Party in the City Council of Puerto Lumbreras will take a motion in full to urge the Ministry of Development to contemplate in the General State Budget of the year 2020 and collect the construction of the third lane on the highway A -7 from Crevillente to Puerto Lumbreras, and do not end in Alhama de Murcia as is the forecast of the Government of Spain.
In addition, from the popular municipal group, the Government of Spain will also be urged to provide direct access from the A-7 to the Puerto Lumbreras Industrial Estate, as well as to guarantee the service and road safety levels of this infrastructure regarding all the municipalities of the Guadalentín Region, as established in the Trans-European Transport Networks
In the words of César Gázquez, councilor of the PP in the City Council of Puerto Lumbreras, "from this municipal group the project is considered short, since the extension of the road to Alhama de Murcia would be a comparative offense for the rest of the municipalities of the Comarca del Guadalentín: An area with great export activity in the fruit and vegetable sector, as well as for the industrial estates that surround this important road infrastructure, including the Puerto Lumbreras Rest. "
The continuity of this project to Puerto Lumbreras would allow the region of Guadalentín to be structured and cohesive at a social and economic level;
and encourage the projection of the industrial parks surrounding the A-7, some of them important, such as those of El Saladar de Totana, La Hoya, La Torrecilla de Lorca or Puerto Lumbreras, with an important link with the municipality of Águilas or the future Lorca-Caravaca Highway.
It should be remembered that the A-7 has two lanes per direction and supports an average traffic of 41,000 vehicles per day, which increases to 47,000 in the month of July.
The construction of a third lane on both roads of the A-7 highway will increase the capacity of the highway and improve its service level.
