Lorca to Close Alameda de la Constitución Walkway Oct. 6–Dec. 31 for AVE Works

Local police scheduled a three-month shutdown of the pedestrian route to advance the next phase of the rail integration project.

Overview

  • The pedestrian passage linking the city center with the main green area will be closed from October 6 through December 31, according to Lorca’s Local Police.
  • Residents are directed to use the nearby Alameda Ramón y Cajal as the closest alternative path frequently used by students and walkers.
  • Alameda de Cervantes reopened to traffic on September 30 after three months of works, and officials say a 2026 excavation will again affect this artery but include a vehicle detour via Calle María Agustina.
  • The council signaled further phased changes, including a future closure at the Camino Marín crossing to build the tunnel box and a planned reopening of Avenida de Santa Clara before Easter.
  • With the city four years without trains, the municipal government is urging Adif to convert the San Diego stop into a provisional AVE and Cercanías station to restore regional rail links and ease highway congestion.
