CARTAGENA (MURCIA), 17 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Cartagena City Council has renovated the roundabout located at the intersection of Santiago Ramón y Cajal Street and Jorge Juan Street, with the aim of «optimizing its condition and beautifying the surroundings,» according to municipal sources in a statement.
The work has involved the renewal of the space with new plant species and materials that will make maintenance easier.
To improve the functionality of the roundabout, a plastic anti-root and anti-weed base has been installed for planting new species.
In the roundabout, two types of Thujas and several specimens of Callistemon have been planted, species with evergreen leaves and great resistance. The touch of color is provided by the lilac Senetti, with abundant and long-lasting flowering.
Finally, the entire surface has been covered with gravel, which will favor long-term conservation.
As part of the intervention, two olive trees and two carob trees have been removed, whose large size hindered drivers’ visibility. The carob trees have been relocated while the olive trees are in the municipal nursery for recovery.
Likewise, the old stone delineation at the edge of the roundabout has been removed and filled with soil.
