The Seville City Council, through Emasesa, will tender the works for the renewal of the supply and sanitation networks of Albaida Street, with a budget of 1,745,834 euros and an execution period of nine months.
The Seville City Council, through the metropolitan water company Emasesa, has announced the upcoming tender for the comprehensive renewal works of Albaida Street, in the Macarena district. The intervention, which has a budget of 1,745,834 euros and an execution period of nine months, will affect the section between Miraflores Avenue and Cruz Roja Avenue.
The delegate for Urbanism and Environment and Emasesa councillor, Juan de la Rosa, explained that the action aims to improve the basic infrastructures of the area, often invisible but essential for the daily lives of residents. He noted that the renewal of the supply networks will increase the flow and pressure of water, as well as install new valves for better sectorisation of the area. The affected household connections will also be replaced.
Regarding sanitation, the works will improve the drainage of rainwater and wastewater, and connections, drains, and other necessary elements for the proper functioning of the network will be replaced. De la Rosa emphasised that this is a firm commitment from the Government of José Luis Sanz to modernise infrastructures that are fundamental for the quality of life of the people of Seville.
The intervention will also include the complete repaving of the work area. The existing granite cobblestones from Gerena will be recovered on the roadway, and the sidewalks will be paved with hexagonal hydraulic tiles. The bike lane will be relocated to comply with accessibility regulations. In terms of gardening, the current flowerbeds will be removed, and all trees will be preserved, which will be confined in tree pits. Parking will be distributed in two sections, one in cordon and the other in battery.
During the course of the works, a complete water supply cut will not be necessary, as a temporary polyethylene network will be installed to maintain service to each of the household connections. However, Emasesa warns that there may be occasional cuts, which will be scheduled and communicated in advance to users.
De la Rosa highlighted that the action has been designed to minimise disruptions to residents as much as possible. Water supply will be guaranteed throughout the work, and all traffic impacts will be coordinated with the Mobility area. Pedestrian traffic will also be partially affected, so the area will be fenced off, and access walkways to the entrances of homes and businesses will be installed.
The works will be executed in two successive and independent phases. The first phase will cover from Miraflores Avenue to the junction with Palma del Río Street; the second, from that point to Cruz Roja Avenue. In addition to Albaida Street, the streets Francisco Meneses, Francisco Moraga, General Marva, Amante Laffón, Maestre Angulo, Palma del Río, José María Izquierdo, and Llerena will also be affected.
This action adds to other recent works in the Macarena district, such as the recovery of around twenty parking spaces on Llanes Avenue, the redevelopment of Artesanos Peluqueros Street with an investment of 461,000 euros, and the resurfacing of Pino Montano Avenue, which has cost over 140,000 euros. In total, the City Council estimates that interventions in the district over the past year have amounted to around one million euros.
The delegate concluded that, although works of this magnitude generate inconveniences, the result is worth it, as a renewed, safer, and better-prepared Albaida Street will be achieved. Residents and businesses in the area should stay alert for information that Emasesa and the Mobility area will provide regarding traffic cuts and pedestrian alternatives.
