Road closures due resurfacing of three sections of GC500 in SBT and Mogán

The Cabildo de Gran Canaria this Monday, March 18, began the resurfacing of several sections of the southern GC500 road between Juan Grande and the Tauro roundabout in the municipalities of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Mogán, as was reported by the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructures, Ángel Víctor Torres.

• The works will take around 10 days

• Expect the complete closure of each section between 9:00-19:00, though they will remain open at weekends

The works, within the framework of the road rehabilitation contract, are to be carried out between Juan Grande and the Aeroclub, at the Pasito Blanco roundabout and between Amadores and the Tauro roundabout, for an approximate period of 10 days.

This is very important maintenance contributing to improving safety, especially considering that it is a road with an average daily traffic intensity of more than 8,000 vehicles including a high volume of heavy vehicles for tourist transport.

The work, which includes the painting of the road signs, means the complete closure in both directions of each section being worked on between 9:00 and 19:00, on weekdays, with detours from the exit at Juan Grande and GC-1 exits in Arguineguín and Puerto Rico.
