Phase two of work on main Sant Ferran thoroughfare

obres-sant-ferran-segona-fase-The infrastructure department of the Consell de Formentera reports that the second phase of upgrades on Avinguda Joan Castelló i Guasch in Sant Ferran will begin this Friday 1 November. Pointing out that work last winter stretched from the roundabout to the point where the avinguda (avenue) intersects with Carrer Guillem de Montgrí, department chief Josep Marí said phase two would pick up where phase one left off and extend all the way to the schools.

The €955,615 remodel is scheduled to run from 1 November to 31 March, with completion expected before the start of the 2020 summer season. The first phase cost €1.4 million.

Essentially an extension of last winter’s efforts, the current work will see crews performing a host of upgrades from repaved road surfaces to buried utility lines (sanitation, drinking water, communications, electricity and street lighting lines). Pedestrian-only zones will expand too, while architectural obstacles will disappear and a dedicated cycling lane created in phase one will remain in place. Other planned additions include recharge points for electric vehicles.
