The 30-million-euro repair of the Southern TF-1 highway is being completed in Tenerife.

The repair of the Southern Highway (TF-1) on Tenerife will be completed next month. This concerns the section between the towns of Arico, Fasnia, and Güímar, in the southeast of the island.

There, 24 kilometers of the road are being renovated. In total, 30 million euros were spent on this.

The Southern Highway is one of the most important roads on the island. More than 70,000 cars drive on it every day. Local authorities say that the repair will improve safety and convenience for drivers, as well as make the road more environmentally friendly.

Rosa Dávila, the head of the local council, noted that the completion of the work is an important step in maintaining the roads in proper condition. She added that they managed to renovate an important road without causing major inconvenience to people and without harming nature.

According to her, the repair of TF-1 shows how the authorities plan to develop the island's transport system. They used asphalt recycling technologies to reduce environmental impact and use resources efficiently.

Interestingly, 50% of the old asphalt was reused. This made it possible to reduce the need for new materials and reduce harmful emissions.

Dámaso Arteaga, who is responsible for roads on the island, said that the work was carried out at night so as not to interfere with traffic during the day. Every night, more than 50 workers and a lot of equipment laid about 1,200 tons of asphalt.

In addition to the new surface, special lanes were installed on the road to warn drivers, fences, markings and barriers on bridges were updated. This is all done for the safety of drivers.

This repair is part of a large plan to restore more than 600 kilometers of roads on Tenerife. The goal is to make the roads modern, safe and environmentally friendly.

Rosa Dávila thanked everyone who participated in the repair and emphasized that the success was made possible thanks to joint work and professionalism.
