The Department of Public Works of the Government of the Canary Islands has definitively approved modified project nº 2 for the improvement works of the LP-1 road, between Los Llanos de Aridane and Tijarafe, raising the total budget to 50.6 million euros.
The action, aimed at improving the safety and capacity of a key road in the northwest of La Palma, incorporates technical adaptations arising from the execution of the works. These include improvements to the road surface, modifications to several viaducts, adjustments to retaining walls, and an update of work unit measurements.
The modification allows for the continuation of two emblematic structures in the ravines of El Jorado and Los Gomeros. Metal structure decks have been chosen, as this typology best suits the difficult access conditions due to the island's orography. The assembly of these structures, each with a span of approximately 100 meters, is scheduled for December 2026 and January 2027.

"This modification responds to strictly technical criteria that allow the project to be adapted to the reality of the work, incorporating solutions that improve the safety, functionality, and durability of the infrastructure."

"The Government of the Canary Islands maintains its commitment to the development of fundamental works to improve the connectivity of the northwest of La Palma."
With the definitive approval, the total budget for the action amounts to 50,623,352.99 euros, representing an increase of 748,131.55 euros over the initial contract budget.
