Work by the “Fuerteventura Beautiful by Nature” crews on the FV-2 The Cabildo of Fuerteventura continues to develop improvement and maintenance work in different parts of the island through the ‘Fuerteventura, beautiful by nature’ program. On this occasion, the crews are working in the tourist enclave of El Castillo with cleaning and clearing actions on the margins of the FV-2 highway and the bike lane parallel to the road. The council crews prepare the margins of the FV-2 and the bike lane in El Castillo. The works, promoted by the Works and Machinery Service through Gesplan, cover about 600 linear meters of road, equivalent to an area close to a thousand square meters. The operators carry out tasks of removing accumulated waste and eliminating vegetation in one of the main access and transit routes of the tourist area. The action takes place from the north roundabout of El Castillo to the roundabout of the Atlántico shopping center. The objective is to improve road safety, increase visibility and facilitate the transit of both vehicles and cyclists as well as pedestrians. The Cabildo reminds us that this section of the FV-2 registers one of the highest traffic intensities in Fuerteventura, so its maintenance is key to reinforcing safety and contributing to a better image of the tourist environment.
