Works on the road included laying interlocking tiles on a 20,000-square-meter area, rehabilitating bridges over a 3,500-square-meter stretch, laying kerbstones along 4,000 meters of road, and granite on a 1,425-square-meter area, mounting 115 meters of guardrails, and painting buildings and fences in a 20,000-square-meter area.
At the same time, 55 new benches and waste bins were installed to boost the services provided to citizens and visitors.
The project, an important ventu
