TRAVEL CHAOS DUE TO ROADWORKS IN ALHAURIN EL GRANDE, MALAGA

Is anyone else out there completely frustrated by the amount of roadwork happening all over the province of Málaga?

Living in Alhaurin el Grande is turning into out to be somewhat of a challenge (as I imagine are most towns); for at every junction you come to man and machine are busy toiling away. Digging, tarmacing, spraying, laying and generally causing mass chaos.

During 2009 the central government spent more than 20 million euros on repairing and building roads in this province alone and according to the Euro Weekly News last week another 30 million is winging its way down to us this year. That means for the foreseeable future getting from A to B will stay a logistical nightmare.

The lastest challenge for drivers is the stretch of road from Venta Los Chavos to Venta Pedro Lucena (A-404) will close 2nd of Feb until the 18th.

The other road closing is the A-387 which runs from the BP station by Alhaurin Golf to the crossroads at the entrance to Alhaurin el Grande (Ermita del Cristo de las Agonías). This will close on the 18th of February.

This leaves us pretty much stranded on the "island of Alhaurin".

Do you think the disruption is worth it? Is all this added infrastructure really necessary?  What do you think?  How is it affecting your day-to-day routine?
