A new section of the shared cycle and pedestrian route in Cártama has been officially opened, improving links between several neighbourhoods and promoting more sustainable travel in the area.
Future connections: Malaga and the PTA
This route is a vital component of a larger regional network. Plans are already in place to expand the links towards:
Malaga city centre
Andalucía Technology Park (PTA)
Alhaurín el Grande and Alhaurín de la Torre
The newly completed second phase of the route connects the Doña Ana neighbourhood with the Atalaya de Cártama residential area. The project, which runs alongside the A-7052 road, has cost around one million euros and has been co-funded by the EU’s Next Generation programme.
The new route was visited on Monday by the subdelegate of the Andalusian government in Malaga, Javier Salas, and the regional minister for public works, Rocío Díaz, who were accompanied by the mayor Jorge Gallardo.
Gallardo said the new infrastructure would provide a safer alternative for pedestrians and cyclists, while helping to improve connections between different parts of the municipality.
