Starting Monday, a section of the La Barca road bypass (A-2003) will be closed to carry out emergency works on the abutment over the bridge on the Guadalete River in this hamlet. The closure, as reported by the Andalusian Regional Government in a statement, will affect specific kilometer points and will begin next Monday at 8 a.m., lasting until 5 p.m. on Friday, March 26.
This traffic closure is planned due to the emergency action for the correction of pathologies on the bridge abutment in this section of the road on the La Barca de la Florida bypass. Consequently, repair works on the bridge deck joint at the abutment will be undertaken in this area. Given this situation, an alternative signed route has been set up for all users of this road.
The Ministry of Development is already carrying out emergency works on the iron bridge of La Barca after the breakage of an abutment months ago, which, if worsened, could compromise the safety of drivers on the road. The works, with a budget and a two-month deadline, are being carried out by a company. They involve the installation of provisional supports and the sealing and injection of the cracks and fissures that have appeared, which will receive a new injection after the construction of a lining wall. Subsequently, the installation of anchors will be carried out, in addition to executing the expansion joint of elastic mortar on a new beam, with the demolition of the existing one. The action will be completed with the cleaning, painting, and greasing of the support elements.
