Road Closure. Update 1836 10.11

 We are informed that due to the works of the El Cucador-Concepción section of the Almanzora Highway, the AL-7106 road, as it passes through Palacés, will be closed to traffic from tomorrow until November 30, from 7:00 a.m.  hours until 7:00 p.m.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

As this will mean that the only route into Zurgena or Alfoquia (without breaching the restrictions) will be along the track over the Rambla I have asked for the track to be graded to make it more passable. I have also sought guidance on crossing the white line on return Palaces! I am trying to see how this can be managed. The Contractors have obviously not thought about how people can gain access within the new Covid rules. I will post as soon as I get a response. I have suggested although I am unsure they will take any notice that they postpone the closure un til they can provide an accessible and legal route to and from Zurgena.


SENSE AT LAST. 

The closure of the road between Palacesd and Zurgena is not now going to occur. They have cancelled the closure and there will merely be temporary interruptions to allow the flow of lorries.

  1. Hi Jim, as far as we can see, from Palaces we can get out using the rambler but to get back because the road is closed ny CAT services we are going to have to go on the main road past new horizon, get on the motorway and then get off at the Balabona? Let's hope the Police are going to be understanding for us all, as we are having to leave our boundary?

  3. Jim, have sent an email regarding this matter as now the residents of Palaces are effectively cut off from Zurgena by both road closures. We can get to Zurgena by crossing the rambla (treacherous after the storm) and onto the motorway but we can't get back without breaking the municipality law by having to go down to Ballabona as my email outlines.

  4. Hi Jim, apologies but our car would not be able to do that journey along the rambler - it's too low to the ground, not being difficult but why can't the Town Hall tell the contractors to just move the bollards accross the road into Alfoquia that would allow access to the rambler or put a sign up saying access to residents of palaces only at the junction of cucador and alfoqia thank you
