The Balearic Islands Port Authority (APB) has informed the stakeholders affected by the remodelling of the new Palma seafront promenade that work will begin next Friday 18th November. In the communication, it has detailed its constructive aspects and the different phases planned during the 20 months that the work will last.
The works will begin one month after the signing of the contract with the joint venture formed by the Mallorcan companies Melchor Mascaró, Vopsa, Urbient and Aglomsa, and the day after the signing of the document verifying the reconsideration, which is the document that indicates the moment when the construction work on the project begins.

The remodelling work will consist of three execution phases plus an initial preparation phase. This phase 0, which will last until the beginning of 2023, will carry out the preliminary actions necessary to start the works, such as access to fords, removal of some kerbs, signposting and placement of barriers. Parking spaces will not be affected until after the Christmas holidays.
Four lanes of traffic
With regard to traffic, four lanes (two in each direction) will be maintained along the entire route and throughout the works, for which, prior to implementation, specific actions will have to be carried out on the current pavement on the seaward side to convert it into a roadway.
Thus, the first phase will act on the land side, without initially affecting the terraces of the businesses. To this end, the pavement will be widened in order to maintain the pedestrian route and accessibility to the premises. The next phase corresponds to the sea side, so the traffic lanes will be moved to the already remodelled stretch of the land area.
