The Tenerife Cabildo, through its Roads Department, has officially opened bidding for 36 road improvement projects aimed at enhancing safety and infrastructure across the island in 2025.
These initiatives, with a combined budget exceeding €700,000, are expected to significantly upgrade road conditions and address critical safety concerns.
The tendering process, set to conclude on 16th January, will focus on a range of key improvements. These include repaving and resurfacing asphalt, upgrading drainage systems, and modernising signage, road markings, and protective barriers. In addition to these measures, the projects also encompass stabilisation works on slopes and embankments across several major roads of island-wide importance.
The Councillor for Roads, Dámaso Arteaga, highlighted the scope and importance of this comprehensive initiative. “With this package of more than 30 projects, we will be able to carry out much-needed improvements on several road sections in Tenerife over the course of 2025,” he stated.
Roads scheduled to have work:
Signalling and Signage Improvements:
The improvement of more than 600 kilometres of roads on the island is added to the various actions underway. This project, which has an investment of more than 1 million euros, aims to rehabilitate the signage and reinforce visibility on roads that require attention due to wear and tear caused by use and the passage of time.
These actions are part of a broader plan for road improvements throughout the island, which includes the recent investment of 30 million euros in the rehabilitation of the Southern Motorway (TF-1) in the sections of Arico, Fasnia and Güímar.
The works will take place overnight on the following roads: TF-111 (Valle Jiménez and Valle Tabares), TF-180 (Santa Cruz-La Laguna), TF-165 (Tacoronte), TF-156 (access to El Boquerón), TF-163 (Valle de Guerra and El Pris), TF-154 (Tegueste), TF-176 (Santa Cruz-El Rosario), TF-174 (La Matanza-La Victoria) and TF-213 (La Victoria).
These interventions will take place between 10:00pm and 6:00am in order to minimise the impact on traffic.
The rehabilitation project will focus on renewing key signs, such as yield signs, lane markings, directional arrows and crossing markings, which are currently highly worn.
The planned works underline Tenerife's commitment to enhancing road safety and ensuring long-term resilience in its transport network. Once complete, these improvements are expected to benefit both local residents and the millions of visitors who traverse the island’s roads each year.
