Estepona Council gets authorization for a new stretch that will link 10 kilometers of the coastal corridor
This new section, between Laguna Village and Dominion Beach, will allow you to walk along pedestrian walkways from the city center to the Guadalmansa River. The works will include the construction of two wooden bridges and will have a bidding budget of one million euros. They are scheduled to be completed before the end of the year
The deputy mayor of the Development, Infrastructure and Tourism (FIT) area, Ana Velasco, explained that the project includes the construction of the longest stretch of coastline that has been done so far with a length of 870 meters and 3, 5 meters wide. From this footbridge a path will be constructed of printed concrete (464 meters) and the rest will be made of wooden footbridge. In addition, the walkway includes two bridges to cross the El arroyo Judío and the Castor river. The first of the bridges will have a length of 20 meters and the second of 32 meters. In addition, landscaped areas will be created and new lighting and urban furniture will be placed.
The works will be put out to tender shortly with a budget of one million euros, including VAT, and will be co-financed by the Commonwealth of Municipalities of the Western Costa del Sol, the Diputación Provincial de Málaga and the City Council of Estepona. The work is scheduled to be completed before the end of this year.
The mayor has indicated that, at the moment, two other sections of the coastal corridor are being executed in the area of Los Llanos and in the area of Velerín. Both sections, which are located in the eastern part of the municipality, will be completed by next month
The coastal corridor project aims to unite the more than 22 kilometers of coastline through pedestrian paths with the aim of allowing citizens to walk and practice sports outdoors. This project, which will extend throughout the municipality, will change the face of the coast after putting value on spaces that are currently isolated and can not be enjoyed by citizens. In this sense, this project is already offering neighbors and tourists the possibility of enjoying unknown areas of the city and environments that until now were inaccessible; as well as privileged views in spaces in which to perform healthy outdoor activities.
