The Torre Pacheco City Council Plenary unanimously approves the request to the Ministry of Public Works and Infrastructures to process the splitting of the RM-F36 road between Torre Pacheco and Cartagena, including the La Palma ring road . The Torre Pacheco Municipal District has a dense network of highways, almost all of them regionally owned, which are in poor condition that does not correspond to the situation they should have, given the intense traffic in all of them and the constant demands from the Local Corporation, neighborhood associations, COEC and other groups that demand routes according to the 21st century.
The frequent cases of torrential rains that the Region suffers, reveal the general absence of bridges and steps over the boulevards and rainwater channels, causing the constant alert to remain vigilant about the situation of these roads.
communication while the risk of flooding due to rains persists, even if they are of low intensity.The isolation suffered by the populations every time it rains makes the Pachequero municipality a constant reiteration in the media with the weather events, since almost all the roads end up being cut off to traffic. The lack of section of road and the absence of arcòn, in addition to deteriorated pavements, also hinder traffic, making it dangerous in many sections of these roads that are the responsibility of the Community Autonomous.
Traffic accidents are also a constant in Torre Pacheco, with the RM-F36 Cartagena-Torre Pacheco highway being the one that causes the most mishaps, especially the almost 6 km section.
between Torre Pacheco and the Cartagena de La Palma deputation.
This route requires factory works to prevent sporadic cuts due to the rains, not so much because of the crossing with the Rambla de El Albuj�n, but other secondary channels that obstruct the road.
The high accident rate that occurs on this road,With poor horizontal signaling and the absence of sound strips or reflective studs, they make driving dangerous, especially at night, although the definitive action would be the termination of the RAPID lane.
Torre Pacheco-Cartagena, which is currently interrupted at the Venta Valero junction and which needs to complete the remaining 8 km to reach Torre-Pacheco, with the necessary bypass of the Cartagena population of La Palma. This request is joint and unanimous by the municipalities of Torre Pacheco and Cartagena, for a long time and justified in the almost 400 accidents and some thirty deaths in the last 30 years.
The last fatality, a 36-year-old girl who went to work in the town, recalls again the sad morning of February 5, 2017, in which eight young people from Torre Pacheco were seen They are involved in a brutal head-on collision, claiming the lives of five of them.
This section has been classified as a "black point" since 2003.
The RM-F36 has a very intense traffic, as it is the natural communication between Torre Pacheco and Cartagena, but also because it runs through the central section of Campo de Cartagena, with high agricultural activity,with dozens of Tajo-Segura Post-Transfer service roads in its vicinity.
Several of them converge with this road, whose crossings or intersections at the same level, without speed reducers, are an important cause of high accidents. The action on the RM-F36 road would also solve the southern access to the Regional Palace of Fairs and Exhibitions, with priority being the construction of a gorge at the La Hita crossing, the busiest point of the entire municipality, substituting traffic regulations for a roundabout whose technical project, recently updated and assumed by this City Council, has been in the plans of the General Directorate of Roads for many years.
The only response that has been received from the regional authorities has been to notify the City Council of the request to the Murcia Provincial Traffic Headquarters to carry out radar speed controls.
