The Vice President of the Provincial Council of Córdoba, Andrés Lorite, accompanied by the mayor of Priego, Juan Ramón Valdivia, and the district mayor of Zagrilla, Santiago Sánchez, visited Priego de Córdoba to inspect the actions carried out on the provincial road CO-7210, leaving the hamlet of Zagrilla towards Carcabuey. Resurfacing works on the CO-8211, known as the Genilla road, were also reviewed.
The completion of the first section of the CO-7210 was verified, which involved widening the platform from approximately four to nine meters and incorporating a pedestrian walkway, significantly enhancing road safety.
Lorite announced that the Council will continue improving this road along its approximately five kilometers. The Road Service is already drafting the project to extend the intervention to the entire route, aiming to increase safety for both vehicular traffic and pedestrians.
Furthermore, a new intervention valued at around 800,000 euros will be put out to tender to improve the entrance to Priego from the Almacenes Yébenes area, also focused on reinforcing road safety.
The completion of the pedestrian promenade between Zagrilla and El Esparragal, and the progress of the pedestrian access works between this hamlet and its cemetery, with an investment close to 200,000 euros, were also highlighted.
The visit concluded at the CO-8211, where resurfacing works are underway with the application of a new asphalt layer to improve the road's condition and driving conditions.
