The company carrying out the work on the San Pedro Alcantara underpass, OHL, has told the town that it will be finished by December this year (2011).
The project affects six kilometres of the A-7 motorway as it passes through San Pedro But San Pedro’s Deputy Mayor, Miguel Troyano, has expressed his doubts over it being completed within the next few months.
OHL has promised that before the end of the summer, the surface work will be completed and efforts will be focused on the tunnel, which will be one kilometre long.
The Ministry of Public Works, which is financing the project, gave it a budget of €65m, which it plansto stick to, as well as the prevision of completing it before 2012.
Work began more than four years ago in order to stop the motorway from dividing the area in two, and do away with the need for traffic lights and pedestrian crossings to make traffic flow more fluidly.
The town hall plans to complete the project with the creation of a 90,000 square metre park costing €6m above the tunnel.
