These works, estimated to last seven to nine weeks, will be carried out from Monday to Friday, between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, starting on Monday, April 13. During these hours, the road will be closed from its access point in Santa Cruz de La Palma to the Roque Observatory, although it will remain fully open on weekends.
“"This action is necessary to carry out the upcoming improvement and repaving works, which this government team has finally managed to unblock."
Councillor Darwin Rodríguez emphasized the importance of this initial phase, which will facilitate the efficient execution of repaving and improvement of the LP-4 Roque de los Muchachos and LP-403 Observatory Access roads. Both are considered essential routes for both residents and visitors to the island.
The improvement project, which includes comprehensive road surface conditioning and enhanced road safety in the sections leading to the island's summit, where the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory is located, was awarded for 3 million euros. Funding comes from the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, through the Secretary of State for Transport and Sustainable Mobility.
The works include the rehabilitation of the wearing course, improved signage, and the adaptation of the road shoulders for both the LP-4 and LP-403. With this award, the administrative procedures prior to the start of the works are completed, with an execution period designed to minimize, as much as possible, traffic disruptions in an environmentally sensitive area.
