Benitatxell finally achieves one of the historic demands regarding safety for its roads. Through the Special Access Improvement Plan promoted by the Compromís Group of the Provincial Council, the provincial entity will finance a roundabout at the intersection between the Xàbia and Camí Cansalades, on the CV-740.
This week, the Valencian deputy Gerard Fullana has visited together with the mayor, Miguel Ángel García, this black point of the municipality, where numerous accidents have occurred in recent years. A roundabout will be projected on it to help regulate traffic safely and put an end to accidents.
At the moment, after various meetings of the City Council with the road technicians, the Provincial Council has already reserved 8.000 euros this year for the drafting of the project, and it is expected that the work will be carried out in the second half of 2023. “We all know perfectly well the Cansalades intersection with the Xàbia road. We know the number of accidents that, unfortunately, have occurred, and we know the urgent need it represents for our people to have the correct infrastructure so that it stops being a black spot on our roads", said the mayor, who has used to thank Fullana for her work so that this investment reaches El Poble Nou de Benitatxell.
For his part, the deputy explained this special plan, "which includes a proposal to improve access in towns that was very necessary, especially for municipalities such as Poble Nou, where there are accesses where accidents regularly occur."
The improvement of this access has been claimed in El Poble Nou de Benitatxell for many years. In fact, the Diputación had already planned a large-scale action to improve this section of the road, which runs from the Benitatxell road to the intersection of Camí Cabanes de Xàbia and is approximately 5 km long. However, thanks to the proposal of the current government team to separate this work from the roundabout of the large project, the action has fitted into this line of the Special Plan for Access Improvement.
