After months of zero activity on the roadworks to improve access to the Alpujarra from the A-44, the Junta de Andalucía has given the go ahead to go back to work on it.

The Head of Fomento, Articulación del Territorio y Vivienda, Rocío Díaz, met with the mayors in the area in order to inform them that the roadworks to eliminate bends on the road will restart “within weeks,” once the construction-work contract had been awarded to the best bid put forwarded.

She said that technical problems had caused the work to halt whilst they were being ironed out.

Rocío Díaz, of course, took the opportunity to praise her boss, the Prime Minister of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, but we won’t go into details.

The modifications to the plans has cost an extra 2-million euros on top of the original ten-million for this first stage of the task on the A-348 (Lanjarón Road), as it is known. The first stage is virtually from the A-44 (the Tablate junction) to the Lanjarón water-bottling plant.

This first stage, which involves a tunnel, should be completed *cough!* by March next year.
