The Maspalomas Gran Canaria Consortium is promoting the first phase of improvements to the GC-500 between the roundabout accessing El Hornillo-Meloneras and the Pasito Blanco interchange. This project will transform nearly one kilometer of this road into a more accessible, safer environment adapted to sustainable mobility. The project is now open for tender with a base budget of €2,447,670.49 and includes new bike lanes, continuous sidewalks, rest areas, improvements to street lighting, and two new roundabouts.

The project involves the redevelopment of approximately one kilometer of the GC-500 road, maintaining the existing roadway for vehicular traffic and incorporating new infrastructure to promote walking and cycling.

Among the main planned works are the construction of two new roundabouts to improve connections with future urbanized areas, as well as the construction of continuous sidewalks on both sides of the road and the creation of separate bike lanes.

The project also includes new pedestrian crossings, rest areas next to bus stops, installation of street furniture, bicycle parking, signage, pergolas, and a renewed public lighting system.

In addition, the project will incorporate technical work aimed at improving the safety and durability of the infrastructure, such as drainage improvements, resurfacing, pipe installation, retaining walls, and adaptation of the spaces to the existing environment.

During the construction, traffic diversions and perimeter fencing will be implemented to ensure the safety of users and minimize disruption to traffic on this section of the GC-500.

The project will be financed by the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council and carried out by the Maspalomas Gran Canaria Consortium as part of the accessibility and mobility improvement plan. The estimated completion time is approximately eight months from the date of the site survey verification report.

In addition to economic criteria, the tender will consider proposals that reduce the execution time and incorporate improvements to the road surface. Interested companies have until Tuesday, August 4, at 12:59 a.m. to submit their bids through the State Procurement Platform.
