The works, awarded in the Government Board, at the proposal of the Department of Development, directed by Roque Ortiz, will allow maintaining the aesthetic conditions and current design of the environment, improve maintenance and reduce the inconvenience caused by noise and vibration
The Plaza de San Agustín will debut pavement at the beginning of next year.
The Governing Board has given its approval to the award of the works that consist of replacing the current paving stone with a continuous pavement of better mechanical characteristics than the current one.
In this way the aesthetic and current design conditions of the environment will be maintained, their maintenance will be improved and the nuisances caused by noise and vibrations will be reduced.
For this, the remodeling project plans to replace the prefabricated concrete paver with a hot bituminous mixture, whose tread layer has a printed relief finish similar to the existing paving stone.
Due to the high average daily intensity of vehicles traveling on the road, the current material causes the instability of the road surface, generates movements in the paving stones and in some places leads to the ruin of the pavement.
An aggravated situation because it is a road used for access to the Murcia Bus Station and a connection between the north and south of the city.
Therefore, the proposed renovation will solve these problems.
In addition, it should be noted that in the urban area of ​​the project, the current Plaza de San Agustín, there are important monumental buildings, such as the Salzillo Museum, made up of the Church of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno and the annexed reconstructed building with the facade of the Riquelme Palace, as well as the Church of San Andrés.
Therefore, and because it is a BIC environment, it has the pertinent authorization from the Autonomous Community.
The Plaza was completely renovated by the architect Yago Bonet, who sought a total regeneration of the urban environment, as well as highlighting the representative and ceremonial character of a space that congregates once a year thousands of people who come to contemplate the formation of courtship processional and the exit of the steps of Salzillo from the church of Jesus.
The works, in which 68,244 euros will be invested, will be developed by Miguel Conesa Franco, within a period of one month.
