Gijón council completes improvements to Blasco Garay street
The Gijón council and the University of Oviedo have signed an agreement to transfer ownership of Blasco Garay street, which was previously in a state of disrepair. The improvement works have now been completed, allowing EMTUSA bus services to resume on the route.
The Gijón council and the University of Oviedo have formalised an agreement to transfer ownership of Blasco Garay street to the local authority. The street had been described as "unpassable" due to significant pavement defects, according to Gilberto Villoria, the councillor for Urban and Rural Infrastructure.
Following the transfer of ownership, improvement works were planned and have recently been completed. Pelayo Barcia, the councillor for Traffic, Mobility and Public Transport, noted that for over a year, EMTUSA bus lines that previously used the street had to be diverted due to its poor condition. "It was unacceptable for buses to operate on this road in such a state. Now, with the agreement in place, the street has been resurfaced, and starting tomorrow, EMTUSA vehicles will once again travel along it," Barcia stated.
The bus lines affected include numbers 2, 4, 18, 35, and 71. Additionally, the changes mean that line 4 will regain its terminus at the Aulario.
