These interventions are crucial to ensure safety and connectivity on the island, following significant damage caused by intense rains and winds. The actions are distributed across strategic points of the island's road network.
In the municipality of Hermigua, 2.6 million euros will be allocated to the CV-3 road to stabilize slopes, improve drainage, and enhance safety against landslides. In the same locality, the CV-14 (El Rejo) road, closed since the storm, will receive 2.7 million euros for landslide containment and ground consolidation.
“"From the very first moment, there has been coordinated and rigorous work between the Cabildo and the island's municipalities, which has allowed for precise identification of damages and rapid action in the most affected areas."
Additionally, 1.5 million euros will be invested in the regional interest roads GM-1, GM-2, and GM-3 to remove debris, replace protective netting, and repair retaining walls. The access road to the coast of Vallehermoso will receive nearly one million euros for comprehensive slope stabilization.
“"We are talking about a situation that clearly exceeds the response capacity of a single administration. Neither the Cabildo nor the municipalities can solely bear the volume of investment necessary for recovery."
These actions are part of a global recovery strategy that the Cabildo estimates at over 42.7 million euros, necessary to restore essential infrastructures and strengthen the island's resilience against future weather events.
