The Consell de Mallorca installs a large wooden footbridge over the d’Aumadrà torrent
The Consell de Mallorca is building a civic promenade between the municipalities of Inca, Lloseta and Binissalem along the old Ma-13A road, which will be a very important infrastructure for promoting sustainable mobility in the Raiguer region. Today, the councillor for Territory, Mobility and Infrastructures, Fernando Rubio, visited the works coinciding with the installation of a large wooden footbridge over the d’Aumadrà stream to give continuity to this civic road that will link the three towns.
The councillor Rubio was accompanied by the island’s director of Infrastructures, Rafel Gelabert, and mayors and councillors from the area: “Today we visited the works on an infrastructure that will be of great importance for sustainable mobility in the Raiguer region and which has a budget of 3.7 million euros and is co-financed by the Sustainable Tourism Tax (ITS). The works are going at a good pace and we hope that at the beginning of September, it will be open to pedestrians,” said Fernando Rubio. The councillor for Territory, Mobility and Infrastructures also added that “this wooden footbridge over the Aumadrà stream, which is just being installed, is a clear example of the integrated construction within the surroundings of this project, which will have lighting, rest areas, safety barriers and will link Inca, Binissalem and Lloseta”.
Description of the civic promenade
The work consists of the construction of a civic promenade that joins the road built as part of the works for the Lloseta link from the Ma-13 (motorway) to the town centre of Inca. The starting point of the new promenade is located on the north side of the Ma-13 A road, at the height of the Mallorca Forum building. From here, a road is built with similar characteristics to the one that was built before, with 2.50 metres of free width of concrete paving, physical separation from the road with a mixed steel-wood barrier, 75 cm berms, and replacement of side closures. At kilometre point 0.3 of the new road, a 20-metre-long wooden footbridge has been installed to cross over the Aumadrà stream. In compliance with article 126 of the Public Hydraulic Domain Regulations, the new structure has been designed to guarantee a larger hydraulic section in the stream than the current one.
Civic hospital road
Fernando Rubio also spoke of the pedestrian road at Inca Hospital. Currently, this hospital complex has no direct pedestrian access from the town centre, which must go along the narrow Llubí street, an itinerary shared with vehicles, which can generate dangerous situations for pedestrians and bicycles that circulate to reach the hospital. Rubio pointed out that the awarding of the contract for this work was halted in 2021 due to deficiencies that have now been resolved. The new project is in the supervision phase and work is scheduled to begin at the end of the year, beginning of 2025, when the periods of expropriation, public exhibition, tendering and awarding of the construction contract are completed. It has a budget of around 350,000 euros.
