en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Port Authority of La Coruña (Autoridad Portuaria de La Coruña) officially launched the external road paving project on July 14, 2026. Located within the inner area of the Port of La Coruña, the project covers a roundabout section between the San Diego Docks (muelles de San Diego) and the Oza Docks (muelles de Oza), spanning approximately 1 kilometer. The main scope of work involves milling (fresado) and repaving the existing road surface to improve traffic conditions and enhance maintenance of this primary internal thoroughfare. This road section serves both port internal traffic and public access, acting as a key link connecting the core areas of the port.

The Port of La Coruña is located in the province of La Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia, northwestern Spain, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the most important ports in northern Spain. As both a significant commercial port and fishing base, it also serves as a major gateway to European Atlantic routes, handling various transport functions including bulk cargo, containers, and passenger services. The internal road where this paving project is taking place is the main artery connecting the operational areas of various docks within the port. It sees heavy daily traffic from freight trucks, port operational vehicles, and public vehicles, resulting in long-term high-load conditions on the road surface.

According to the Port Authority of La Coruña, the budget for this road repair project exceeds 1 million euros. During construction, full road closures will not be implemented; only the work lanes will be occupied, while other lanes will remain open to traffic. The project is expected to last approximately two weeks, with the specific timeline subject to adjustment based on construction progress and weather conditions. The port authority reminds passing vehicles to pay attention to temporary traffic signs in the construction area and to reduce speed. Rail traffic will not be affected, and both road and rail transport will maintain normal operations during the construction period.

This project is a key component of the annual maintenance plan implemented by the Port Authority of La Coruña in the inner port area, aimed at ensuring that port infrastructure and road networks are maintained in good condition. Subsequent construction will be carried out on other road sections included in the maintenance and renovation plan. The launch of this road paving project will help improve the quality of road traffic within the port area, ensure the efficiency of port logistics transport, and provide safer and more comfortable travel conditions for public vehicles entering and exiting the port area. With the continuous growth of cargo throughput in northern Spanish ports, the maintenance and upgrading of port infrastructure have become a crucial link in ensuring the stability of the regional supply chain.
