| The Community and the Alguazas City Council unblock the obtaining of land for the improvement of the highway RM-531 in the section that runs through the municipality | The Ministry of Development and Infrastructure, together with the Alguazas City Council and the businessmen of the area, has demanded that the Ministry of Transport discard, once and for all, the current location of the Arco Noroeste link for being "a useless work, that goes against the neighbors and the progress of the Region and Alguazas ".This was transmitted today by the director José Ramón Diez de Revenga, the mayor of Alguazas, Silvia Ruiz, the president of the Association of entrepreneurs, Pedro Franco, and president of the Association of Entrepreneurs and Merchants of Segura (Asecom), Eloy Jiménez, in the meeting they held in Alguazas to analyze the situation of the Arco Noroeste, which is in the preliminary works for the work.The neighbors, businessmen and the regional and local administrations agree that the change of the link "will avoid having an unusable infrastructure", which will take users of the Arco Noroeste to an area in the middle of nowhere, since the branches do not have any connection , for which they regret the "effort" of the Ministry of Transport to maintain a link that "goes against social feeling".Instead, the new link will mean greater social development and economic and business growth for this area, where important exploitations of the agri-food industry are located.Another benefit will be that it will allow connecting with the remodeled regional highway RM-531, which connects the towns of Alguazas and Campos del Río and which is in the process of being remodeled by the regional Administration, which will allocate more than 3 million euros.The regional government has repeatedly asked to change the location of the link.

In October 2019, the Ministry of Development and Infrastructure conveyed to the State its disagreement with the project of the Northwest Arc layout, because it does not guarantee the continuity of RM-531, and the projected link is not adequately connected to the aforementioned regional highway.

A request that was reiterated earlier this year.Improvement of the Alguazas-Campos del Río highwayLikewise, the regional government and the Alguazas City Council have unlocked the draft collaboration agreement between both administrations which will obtain the land necessary to undertake the improvement and expansion of the RM-531 regional road, which connects the town with Campos del River.It is an important step for the continuity of the remodeling of the road and that, since 2016, remained pending for the City Council to make the land available to the Community to undertake the third phase of the road improvement works.

The action affects a stretch of 1.7 kilometers in the municipality of Alguazas and involves a regional investment of 900,000 euros.The regional government has already carried out the first phase of improving the RM-531 regional highway with the construction of a roundabout at the Alguazas exit towards Campos del Río and is about to award the works for the second phase that focus on the term Municipal of Campos del Río.
