2. Linking the service road to the Sports Centre to the N-340, introduction of stopping areas on the barranco de la Coladilla and improvements to the street lighting between the Burriana roundabout and Fuente del Baden. The budget for this project is €276,443.18.
3. Improvements to the Frigiliana and Rapto de Europa (western end coming from Torrox) roundabouts, improved pedestrian facilities at the Frigiliana and Plaza Cantarero roundabouts and improvements to the street lighting near the Plaza Cantarero and Parador roundabouts.
