The city of Málaga has opened a second car park on Jorge Loring Street as part of the extension works for the Málaga Metro. This new facility has 32 spaces, which adds to the 32 available in the first car park, thus doubling the existing capacity.
Urban improvements and accessibility
The new car park aims to compensate for the inconveniences caused to residents by the expansion works of the second section of the line, which runs between Hilera and Eugenio Gross. The intervention also includes improvements to the urban space, with wider sidewalks, pavement renewal, and the replacement of trees.
To facilitate access for people with reduced mobility, modifications have been made to eliminate architectural barriers, and a nearby playground has been relocated. This new landscaped area includes five specimens of white mulberry instead of orange trees, which constantly generated waste.
Details of the works
The work, carried out by the Ministry of Development and Mobility through the Public Works Agency, is coordinated with the Bailén-Miraflores district of the Málaga City Council. The project not only includes the creation of the new car park but also the renewal of pavements, drainage for rainwater, and improvements to public lighting, with the installation of ten new light fixtures.
The extension works of the Málaga Metro to the future Virgen de la Esperanza Hospital have a total length of 1.8 kilometres, are completely underground, and are structured in three sections. The estimated budget for this ambitious intervention is 244 million euros, partially funded by Feder funds from the European Union.
