“The Asphalt operation is another sample of our commitment as a municipal government with the improvement of the urban scene and the streets of the city, because we bet in a determined way to transform Zaragoza, its public spaces, in all its neighborhoods, making it the best city to live, work, invest or form a family,” said Serrano.
For his part, Vox’s spokesman, Julio Calvo, has affirmed that “the transformation of the city begins with matters like this, the asphalting of streets, because we are convinced that they function as dynamic elements of the city in addition to strengthening road safety.” “To Vox,” he added, “the regeneration of the roads has always been one of the aspects that we have led to the negotiating table with the Popular Party Government team, and an inalienable point when approved the successive municipal budgets.” Also, Calvo recalled that “all we have done is to transfer the needs that make us reach different groups through the district joints and the rural neighborhoods of Zaragoza”
In this sense, Serrano has compiled investment data to illustrate the impulse of the municipal government to the Asphalt operation: “From 2016 to 2019, 139,641 m² were paved for a value of 3,238,018 euros. But from the change of government, from 2020 to 2024 we invest 14.6 million euros for 685,000 m²”.
With this investment spirit in the neighborhoods of the city, it has been designed, as Serrano said, a new asphalt operation for this 2025, with 1.5 million euros in 43 streets, all without counting the integral reforms of roads that also imply asphalt renewal. Also, Serrano wanted to remember that this 2025 Asphalt operation is part of the budgetary agreements reached with the Vox Municipal Group for this year.
