The provincial authority of Malaga approved at its last meeting on 17 June the start of the contracting process for works to improve road markings in the province. The works, totalling 2,108,323.87 euros, will cover 600 kilometres of 99 roads.

President of the provincial authority Francisco Salado said that the works will be put out to tender in four lots, corresponding to the four areas into which the province is divided: Axarquía, Norte-Antequera, Guadalhorce Valley and Serranía de Ronda.

The works will have a three-month execution period.

Salado stated that the Malaga provincial authority maintains a firm and determined commitment every year to modernise and improve the provincial road network, which increases road safety with budgets that amount to 20 million euros annually.

"We are not only addressing the structural repairs of roads that are in poor condition, but have also made a significant effort with road surface improvement plans to ensure that the roadways and ditches are in the best possible condition," Salado said.

The provincial authority's project includes delimiting traffic lanes, separating directions of traffic, indicating the edge of the roadway, delimiting areas excluded from regular vehicle traffic and regulating traffic.

Salado also announced that the tender documents for contracting road signage work are currently in the drafting phase, which includes the renewal and replacement of traffic signs.
