Description of Works
New Roundabout
The new roundabout is put into service, has 3 lanes of 4.5 m wide, 1.5 m outside shoulder, shoulder within 0.5 m 1 m berms hydraulically tile sidewalks with concrete base.
At the roundabout connecting 6 branches, 2 connected from the A-7 (one in each direction), 2 connected from the N-301A (one per direction), 1 which reached from the University of Murcia and the last on the access the industrial estate Cabezo Cortao and Immigration Center.
The 6 branches of the roundabout allow more efficient and secure connection by providing a variety of different routes to users who access the link.

For disposal of rainwater, has implemented a longitudinal drainage ditches formed by trapezoidal lined to which has been given continuity in road crossings, through reinforced concrete pipe and manholes sinks.
It has improved the lighting in the area of influence of the roundabout by the distribution of canes of 16 m in height with one or two arms and luminaries to 400 W of power.
With regard to road safety and signage have been placed concrete barrier or metal barrier "bionda" according to the containment level required, have been replenished with paint thermoplastic road markings adapted to the new configuration of the knot and vertical signs installed necessary, panels and directional signs steel blades, to inform and guide users accessing the roundabout.
