The project, with a four-month execution period, will focus on the path running east to west through the park, from Cervantes promenade to Portal de Castilla and Gasteiz Avenue. This route is one of the park's most frequented and has suffered significant deterioration over time.
Currently, the promenade is paved with natural stone slabs that have become loose and require frequent repairs. Furthermore, the uneven surface makes transit difficult, particularly for individuals with mobility issues.
“"El Prado is one of the most beloved parks in Vitoria-Gasteiz, and this path is used by many people every day. The pavement is quite deteriorated and needs renewal. With this work, we want to make walking in the park more comfortable and safer, especially for the elderly or those with mobility difficulties."
The intervention includes renewing the promenade's surface with a polished cast asphalt finish, providing a more uniform and accessible pavement. For a significant portion of the route, the existing base will be utilized, avoiding complete removal and thus reducing waste generation. Necessary adaptations will be made at access points and connections to other paths to ensure route continuity.
The project also involves improving the rest areas. Current benches will be replaced with the 'Vitoria-Gasteiz' model, and small lateral widenings will be created to facilitate access and enhance their usability.
