Construction Underway at Benabolá Stream in Marbella

The Marbella City Council is currently overseeing construction work at the Benabolá stream in Marbella. The project involves the creation of a 1.4-kilometer riverside walkway. This initiative aims to address the flooding issues that affect nearby homes during periods of heavy rainfall. To achieve this, corrective measures will be implemented and the entire sewer system will be improved.

Hidralia Awarded Construction Contract

The construction project, awarded to Hidralia, has an investment of 5.5 million euros. Marbella’s mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, who visited the site, announced this on Wednesday.

Enhancing the Surrounding Environment

The mayor emphasized that the project will enhance the entire surrounding area by creating a recreational space for residents to enjoy. This space will feature green areas and could potentially be leased for the establishment of sports facilities.

Construction Work Covers a Total Area of Nearly 50 Kilometers

The mayor also detailed that the construction work is being carried out over a total area of almost 50 kilometers. This includes 25 kilometers that have been cleared of dense vegetation along the stream’s banks and 10 kilometers that have been cleaned, with objects that had been swept away by the water being removed.

New Sewage Collector Installed

In addition, a new sewage collector has been installed outside the servitude area to prevent it from being located within the stream itself and to avoid discharges into the stream.

Repairing Connection with Existing Channel

At the same time, the connection with the existing channel under the A-7 is being repaired. This was in very poor condition due to water drag, posing a risk of blockage and overflow.

Creation of a Riverside Path

The project also includes the creation of a riverside path to the east of the stream. This will feature lighting, a supply and irrigation network, and urban furniture, including 17 trash cans and 20 concrete benches.

Construction of a Laminated Wood Passage Structure

Furthermore, a laminated wood passage structure will be built. This is designed for pedestrian use but can also accommodate occasional maintenance vehicle traffic up to a maximum of 20 tons. It will be located to the south of the project and will connect the new channel with the highway crossing.
