La avenida del Ejército closes one lane from this Thursday due to the speed bumps

The raised speed bumps on avenida del Ejército, at the roundabout of the olive tree, begin construction this Thursday, November 12, in both lanes. The work will last eight days and will force a change to the usual route of those driving toward the center of La Línea de la Concepción. In the direction from the Ciudad Deportiva toward the center, traffic will be cut off on avenida del Ejército at calle San Cayetano. The detour leads toward Francisco Camacho and Gibraltar to reconnect with avenida del Ejército. Those passing through the area will have to follow the signage placed to guarantee safety during the works, according to the municipal department of Movilidad Urbana.

The speed bumps are part of the traffic calming, pedestrian safety and accessibility improvement project promoted by the Ayuntamiento. Its goal is to make effective the 30-kilometer-per-hour speed limit at pedestrian crossings. The mayor, Juan Franco, announced the details of this plan on Tuesday, November 10. The project affects the main roads of the city and must be finished by the middle of next December. The Diputación de Cádiz finances the contract, of 144.158,52 euros, awarded to the company Proyectos y Ejecuciones Técnicas Unidas, S. L. The councilor of Movilidad Urbana, Raquel Ñeco, explained that the work will cause changes in vehicle traffic with an expected duration of eight days.
