- The activities, which are about to conclude, are included in the Rural Development Program of this autonomous región
As a result of the order placed by the General-Directorate for Rural Development of the Department for Agriculture, the Environment, and Rural Development of the regional Government of Castilla La-Mancha (JCCM), a number of actions are taking place for repairing the roads and pathways network which unite a number of municipalities in the provinces of Toledo, Guadalajara, Cuenca, and Albacete.
The works, which are included in the Rural Development Program of Castilla La-Mancha, seek to unite and promote the intermediate rural areas, with the goal of expanding and improving the infrastructures linked to the access, road communication and signaling of the different territories.
Specifically, the works, which were entrusted to TRAGSA, involve around 500 kilometers of roads, and they consisted in the cleaning of ditches, outlining the bases, supplying, extending, and compacting sands; applying two and three layers of asphalt and agglomerates when hot; replacing road signs; repairing road constructions, and the opening and building of water passageways.
These actions have been practically concluded, and there are only some minor repairs pending to do.
