Open the new access to the Health Campus (02/03/2020)

A notable decrease in traffic jams that until now were generated during peak hours is expected |

The mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, and the rector of the University of Murcia (UMU), José Luján, inaugurated today the east access of the Health Campus, which will decongest both the entrance traffic to the university campus located in El Palmar as the access to the Hospital of La Arrixaca, reducing the traffic jams that until now were generated in rush hours.

This is a new access to the dissuasive parking lot of the Health Sciences campus, which is located on the plot adjacent to the campus and can accommodate more than 800 vehicles.

The event was also attended by the Councilor for Sports and Health, Felipe Coello.

The City of Murcia gave the UMU the land for the construction of the new access, which is an improvement for road traffic in the area that suffers traffic jams in and out of the A-30 Murcia Highway at peak times.

Users who go to the university campus can now turn off along Ciudad Sanitaria Avenue, avoiding the passage through Campo Street and Buenavista Avenue.

The retentions that usually occurred on the roads surrounding the Virgen de la Arrixaca University Hospital will be relieved.

The work, which has been executed in two months, includes a pedestrian access, the installation of barriers and a guardhouse for access control that is restricted to members of the university community.

It has been necessary to relocate the transformation center and install underground containers.

The traffic light network has also been expanded and continuity has been given to the sidewalks and the bike lane that connect with the cattle route.

It is an action promoted by the Vice-Rectorate for Infrastructure Planning and supervised by the Infrastructure and Development Service of the Technical Unit Area.

Its execution was awarded to an external company through a public tender for an amount of € 213,140.27 financed with own funds from the University of Murcia.

This action is part of the Special Infrastructure Plan of the Campus of Health Sciences-Hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca, approved by the City of Murcia on 07/10/2012.

New access to the Espinardo Campus from the A-30

On the other hand, the City of Murcia will soon award the works to build a new roundabout for access to the Espinardo Campus from the A-30 highway, which will avoid frequent traffic jams that occur in the area.

The Government Board authorized last December a game of more than 510,000 euros to launch this action, which will take place at the branch of exit 136 of the A-30.

The project is currently in tender and has an execution period of five months.

The objective is that the works are finished in September 2020, with a view to the beginning of the next course.
