Valga Begins Pedestrian Path as Bergondo Puts Sidewalk Project to Tender

Funded by local budgets with support from the Deputación de A Coruña's Plan Único, the works seek to close sidewalk gaps and make roads safer for people on foot.

Overview

  • Valga has started on‑site construction in Cordeiro, with contractor Citanias mobilized to build about 120 metres of pedestrian path and widen the adjacent service road to six metres.
  • The Valga project, overseen by Mayor José María Bello Maneiro and the Axencia Galega de Infraestruturas provincial chief, includes a 2.02‑metre colored‑concrete walkway plus retaining walls, drainage upgrades and relocation or burial of utility poles.
  • The Concello de Bergondo published a tender on Wednesday for a two‑metre sidewalk along the left side of the AC‑214 at O Corral da Igrexa with a budget of €164,800.97 co‑financed by the Deputación and municipal funds.
  • Both schemes pair paving with utility and lighting works so new sidewalks link existing sections, improve accessibility for people with reduced mobility, and reduce pedestrian exposure to traffic on roads that connect to main routes such as the N‑VI.
  • These small municipal investments show a wider pattern of using Plan Único co‑financing to fix discontinuous pedestrian routes in the province, which should cut local walking risks and may prompt more similar projects in nearby councils.
