The planned works will begin at the strategic roundabout located on the regional road RP 3038. They will include a series of integrated technical and engineering interventions. A complete topographic survey of the area surrounding the airport is planned, as well as in-depth technical studies aimed at ensuring the quality of the work and its compliance with engineering and safety standards. Preparatory work to create temporary access routes facilitating the passage of machinery and materials, strategically organizing construction areas, and securing the entire site to ensure the safety of workers and facilities will also be undertaken.

Large-scale earthwork and backfilling operations are also planned, as well as precise soil leveling in targeted areas. In some places, particularly at the interchanges leading to the airport, new roads will be entirely constructed according to the latest technical standards and specifications, it is specified. The complete rehabilitation of sidewalks around the airport and the replacement of dilapidated curbs with new and modern ones is also planned. Not to mention the installation of a complete rainwater drainage network, including pipes of different diameters, gullies to collect surface water, and periodic inspection chambers to ensure the network’s efficiency.

A new public lighting system will be installed around the airport, with the installation of new modern streetlights, the extension of the electrical wiring network, and its connection to the existing infrastructure as part of the enhancement of security and comfort, the document specifies.
