The project of the jobs will be drafted throughout 2021 and the adjudication and start of the proceedings is planned between 2022 and 2023.

According to the vice mayor, “Oliva has a lack of connections and accesses. That is why we want this project to serve in a second phase to develop a new access between the town and the beach through the Terranova road”.
On the other hand, Miguel Monzonís said that “we are making a new territorial design that can end the isolation that Oliva suffers with connections for many years. In just six months, the new southern access of Oliva and the definitive unlocking of this project has been achieved”.
