Construction project for the widening and realignment of road BI-2704, section Sopela – Urduliz with town bypass

Abstract

The Project aims to address serious road safety concerns along the existing route, where a notable number of accidents currently occur. Improving safety conditions for all road users is one of the main objectives of this intervention. In addition, the road is intended to adapt to the current and future needs of the surrounding environment, taking into account the ongoing population growth and the presence of the nearby hospital, which generates increased and diverse traffic demands. The new infrastructure is therefore conceived as a response to the area's evolving urban and mobility context. To achieve these goals, the project involves the construction of a bypass road to Urduliz. Also includes an improvement of the alignment and an expansion of the road platform, incorporating a dedicated bike lane to protect vulnerable road users.
